Emperor of Rome Diocletian
Persecuted
people’s Christian
And
in the Roman Empire wide
Were
the Christian martyrs tried
George
the champion knight
Bearer
of Christendom’s light
Tried
for love of Christ divine
Was
put to death in Palestine
Seven
hundred years had gone
The
Crusaders holy war raged on
When
defeat at Antioch was feared
A
vision of Saint George appeared
The
English soldiers rallying
Fighting
brave for God and King
Against
the odds with fewer men
They
win victory over the Saracen
Champion
knight of Christendom
The
patron saint of our kingdom
George
the saint both now and then
The
patron saint of Englishmen
