H. R. H. Prince of Wales.
Born November 9th, 1841.
Five and fifty years ago,
A baby came from baby-land,
To a palace home, and lo!
Joy-bells rang throughout the land.
For that little baby fair
Was Albert Edward, England's heir.

Proudly Queen Victoria lay,
Holding baby to her breast;
And methinks that she would say—
God is good, and I am blest;
Keep my babe, O King of Kings,
'Neath Thine everlasting wings.

Keep my babe, O King of Kings,
'Neath Thine everlasting wings.
Swift the years have rolled away,
And to-day Victoria hears
The bells ring, as they rang that day,
And she smileth through her tears,
As her mother heart still sings—
Guard him ever King of Kings.
