the diamond jubilee.
And the children of Old England
Should both love her and revere,
For the interests of the children
She has aye held close and dear;
And through her gracious influence
The children of to-day
Have the many privileges which
Now bless their childhood's way.

Surely, Victoria is blest
All others far above,
Since God has given her length of days,
And wisdom, power, and love;
And, like a star, her name will shine
On future history's page,
When generations yet unborn
Read the Victorian Age.

Now, children, dear, I hope you'll all
Pray that our Queen may be
Preserved from every danger on
The day of Jubilee.
'Twill be a thrilling sight indeed
To watch the pageant grand:
God keep the assembled hosts from harm,
And guard the Royal band.
