W:Our King went forth to Normandy,
W:With grace and might of chivalry;
W:The God for him wrought marv'lously,
W:Where-fore England may call and cry
W:Deo gratias:
W:Deo gratias Anglia redde pro Victoria.

W:He set a siege, sooth for to say,
W:To Harfleur town with Royal array;
W:That town he won, and made a fray,
W:That France shall rue until Domesday.
W:Deo gratias:
W:Deo gratias Anglia redde pro Victoria.

W:Then went our King, with all his host
W:Through France, for all the Frenchman's boast;
W:Nor spared for dread of least nor most,
W:Until he came to Agincourt coast.
W:Deo gratias:
W:Deo gratias Anglia redde pro Victoria.

W:4
W:Then foresooth that Knight comely,
W:In Agincourt field he fought manly:
W:Through grace of God most mighty,
W:He had both the field and the victory.
W:Deo gratias:
W:Deo gratias Anglia redde pro Victoria.
W:
W:5
W:Their dukes and earls, lords and barons,
W:Were ta'en and slain and that well soon:
W:And some were led into London,
W:With joy and mirth and great renown.
W:Deo gratias:
W:Deo gratias Anglia redde pro Victoria.
W:
W:6
W:The gracious God now save our King,
W:His people and all his well willing:
W:Give him good life and good ending,
W:That we with mirth may safely sing.
W:Deo gratias:
W:Deo gratias Anglia redde pro Victoria.
