English National Anthem
by Donald Crosby Giblin

The White Cliffs of Dover the ice age formed
The green meadow pasture this world adorned
A haven for men a creation through ages
Where true honour lies a creation its pages

To the north the high seas form
To the south the atlantic clear storms
Home is central peaceful pastures lie
Our homeland our England,clouds and blue sky

Alba is white the Cliffs of Dover
Englands first name and seagulls hover
This Atlantic where lands end lies
And Hadrian’s Wall the last England sky

Peopled by multitudes woaded in blue
Those who stayed with romans it’s true
Wattle and daub a home cosy fires
The Engles the Christians- Jesus inspired

Truth is the haven religeons are borne
And humans aspire to their haven warm
To peace and rest true a vigil eternal
To freedom so precious – our England maternal

Sincerely, Don

I have always thought that Rose Of England is the perfect English anthem. I also like Jerusalem and I Vow To Thee My Country but I think Rose can appeal to a much wider cross-section of English people when it comes to singing a song at a major event. Agreed.
