I just read that we are going to use 2 verses of the national anthem at the Olympics, using the usual "Thy choisest gifts in store" verse that I learned in primary school. But did they not miss a trick by not getting us to learn one of the other verses?
Of many a race and birth
From utmost ends of earth,
God save us all!
Bid strife and hatred cease,
Bid hope and joy increase,
Spread universal peace,
God save us all!
Of many a race and birth
From utmost ends of earth,
God save us all!
Bid strife and hatred cease,
Bid hope and joy increase,
Spread universal peace,
God save us all!
