"Land of Hope and Glory" is a British patriotic song, with music by Edward Elgar written in 1901 and lyrics by A. C. Benson later added in 1902.
The national anthem of England is "God Save the Queen", but in 2016 some MPs felt that England should have its own distinct anthem with the result that there have been discussions on the subject in the UK Parliament. Several candidate songs have been discussed, including "Jerusalem", "I Vow to Thee, My Country" and "Land of Hope and Glory". Alternatives to "God Save the Queen" have been used for England teams at sporting events.

Chorus:
Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set;
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet,
