ernest gray - be british lyrics

what a glorious thing it is to know
that the breed is just the same
as it was when the anglo-saxon race
first gained immortal fame
what a glorious thing it is to know
when dangers hour was nigh
when the mighty liner sank to her rest
our men knew how to die

spoken:
in rode the feeling of courage, of duty to be done and men behaved like men should do, all heroes every one. millionaire and poor man’s son, when she was sinking fast, worked like britons side by side all faithful to the last and though they found a cold, cold grave beneath the icy seas. up on high these words were heard, nearer my god to thee. with men like these we still can boast and as of old can sing o death, where is thy victory, o grave, where is thy sting

be british was the cry as the ship went down
every man was steady at his post
captain and crew when they knew the worst
saving the women and children first
be british is the cry to everyone
and though fate has proved unkind
show that you are willing, with a penny or a shilling for those they left behind
