Hand
bells; the final item Hail to the Homeland With
everyone invited to sing Hail to the Homeland Hail
to the Homeland! Great bastion of the free, Hear
now thy children proclaim their love for thee; Ageless
thy splendour – undimm’d that Celtic Flame, Proudly
our souls reflect the glory of thy name. Sense now the beauty – the peace of Bodmin Moor, Ride
with the breaker towards the Sennen shore; Let
firm hands fondle the boulders of Trencrom – Sing
with all the fervour then the great Trelawny song.
Hail
to the Homeland! – of thee we are a part, Great
pulse of freedom in every Cornish heart. Prompt us and guide us – endow us with thy power, Lace us with liberty to face this changing hour. |
