Long live the king

From a dynasty of light
There came a glorious dawn,
A mighty king, a noble knight,
A leader of our own.

He shone to end the darkest nights,
He rose to help the weak,
A man of strength, of will and might,
His people's good he seeks.

A protector of all that is sacred,
A loving father, a caring brother too,
His light shines bright against all hatred,
And in our hearts, his love will grow.

Throughout his reign,
He lived by his word and never failed;
Each day brought forth a lasting gain,
As security, prosperity, and justice prevailed.

So stand with me,
And let us proudly sing,
As loudly as our voices can be:
Long live the King!
Long, long live the King!
