The Triumph of Victoria
Music: Walter Parratt (1841–1924) · Words: Thomas Herbert Warren
Oh! happy hour, most meet for merry ditty
Then were the banners and the beacons
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:51) 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
Oh! happy hour, most meet for merry ditty
Then were the banners and the beacons
flaunting, Then were the towers chaunting,
For our great blessing, Deo gratia et
gloria, Victoria, long live Vic– toria!
Then on the sea and shore the cannon boomed,
Then carolled court and cot, causey and alley,
Mountain and plain, For our great blessing,
Soli Deo gloria, Vic- toria,
long reign Victoria!
Bright Sun, And stars As on your sister
planet’s birthday morning,
Chime with our singing, chime, chime with our
singing, Deo gratia et gloria,
Our great, our good Victoria, long reign
Victoria! Long live Victoria!
Oh! happy hour, most meet for merry ditty
Then were the banners flaunting,
Then were the towers chaunting,
For our great blessing, Deo gratia et
gloria, Victoria, long live Vic– toria!
Then on the sea and shore the cannon boomed,
Then carolled court and cot, Mountain and
plain, For our great blessing, Soli Deo
gloria, Vic- toria, long reign Victoria!
Bright Sun, And stars As on your sister
planet’s birthday morning,
Chime with our singing, chime, chime,
chime with our singing, Deo gratia et
gloria, Our great, our good Victoria,
long reign Victoria! Long live Victoria!
Oh! happy hour, most meet for merry ditty
When fair did fall fair England,
field and city, Then were the banners
flaunting, Then were the towers chaunting,
For our great blessing, Deo gratia et
gloria, Victoria, long live Vic– toria!
Then on the sea and shore the cannon boomed,
All hail! Great Queen, on shore and sea re
nowned! Then carolled court and cot,
Mountain and plain, For our great blessing,
Soli Deo gloria, Vic- toria,
long reign Victoria!
Bright Sun, upon her empire setting never,
And stars As on your sister planet’s birthday
morning,
Chime, chime, chime with our singing,
Deo gratia et gloria, Our great,
our good Victoria, long reign Victoria!
Long live Victoria!
When fair, when fair did fall fair England,
field and city, Then were the banners
flaunting, Then were the toppling towers one
burthen chaunting, For our great blessing,
Deo gratia et gloria, Victoria,
long live Vic– toria! Then the cannon
boomed, All hail! Great Queen, on shore and sea
re nowned! Then carolled court and cot,
Mountain and plain and ev’ry pretty valley
For our great blessing, Soli Deo gloria,
Vic- toria, long reign Victoria!
Bright Sun, upon her empire setting never,
And stars that cynosure her navies ever,
Ye sang together for her brave adorning,
Chime, chime, chime with our singing,
Deo gratia et gloria, Our great,
our good Victoria, long reign Victoria!
Long live Victoria!
When fair, when fair did fall fair England,
field and city, Then were the banners
flaunting, Then were the towers chaunting,
For our great blessing, Deo gratia et
gloria, Victoria, long live Vic– toria!
Then the cannon boomed, All hail!
Great Queen, on shore and sea re nowned!
Then carolled court and cot, Mountain and
plain, For our great blessing, Soli Deo
gloria, Vic- toria, long reign Victoria!
Bright Sun, upon her empire setting never,
And stars that cynosure her navies ever,
Ye sang together for her brave adorning,
Chime, chime, chime with our singing,
Deo gratia et gloria, Our great,
our good Victoria, long reign Victoria!
Long live Victoria!
