Stand by Great Britain! [Vanity]
Posted on 07/07/2005 10:25:08 AM PDT by Convert from ECUSA
For all our friends in Great Britain!
Back in '41 when Harry Hopkins met with Churchill in London, he brought the following message from Roosevelt to Churchill:
"for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me."
Book of Ruth, chapter 1, verses 16-17.
A lot of us here in the USA say those same words to you and your country in reaction to the barbaric events in London. Give it 'em back!

Rule Britannia a song by Thomas Augustine Arne, 1740
When Britain first at Heav'n's command
Arose from out the azure main;
This was the charter of the land,
And guardian angels sang this strain;
Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves:
Britons never will be slaves.
The nations not so blest as thee,
Shall in their turns to tyrants fall;
While thou shalt flourish great and free,
The dread and envy of them all.
Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves:
Britons never will be slaves.
Still mor majestic shalt thou rise,
More dreadful from each foreign stroke;
As the loud blast that tears the skies,
Serves but to root thy native oak.
Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves:
Britons never will be slaves.
Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame,
All their attempts to bend thee down
Will but arouse thy generous flame;
But work their woe, and thy renown.
Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves:
Britons never will be slaves.

"We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire. Neither the sudden shock
of battle nor the long-drawn trials of vigilance and exertion will wear us down.
Give us the tools and we will finish the job." -- Winston Churchill, 1941
