One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:51) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.
The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.
The words
Where white her cliffs and ridges gleam,
Beneath the northern skies, The land that
fills the patriot’s dream, Our own dear England
lies, Encompass’d by a lordly sea,
And wreathed with ocean foam, The land of truth
and liberty, Our treasure and our home.
The Fate perchance our feet may set Upon a far
off strand, Our hearts, thank God!
are English yet; God bless the dear old land!
To England then, with merry voice Send forth
the old, old cheer, England our best,
our home so blest, God bless our land so dear!
’Tis ours the greatness of her past,
The glory she has known, And proudly still her
strength shall last, Which trusts in God alone;
The mighty ones who made her fame Be ours to
emulate, And live and toil in freedom’s name,
As great as they were great; For us doth shine
the golden rays, That have thro’ a ges shone;
Let’s match them with a kindred blaze,
Thro' ages to live on; Thank God!
her great free tongue is ours, That shall the
world command, To England mightiest of
pow’rs, God bless the dear old land.
