Scotland the Brave

Hark when the night is falling Hear! Hear! The pipes are calling,
Loudly and proudly calling, Down thro' the glen.
There where the hills are sleeping, Now feel the blood a-leaping,
High as the spirits of the old Highland men.

Chorus:
Towering in gallant fame, Scotland my mountain hame,
High may your proud standards gloriously wave,
Land of my high endeavour, Land of the shining river,
Land of my heart for ever, Scotland the brave.

High in the misty Highlands, Out by the purple islands,
Brave are the hearts that beat Beneath Scottish skies.
Wild are the winds to meet you, Staunch are the friends that greet you,
Kind as the love that shines from fair maiden's eyes.

Chorus: Towering in gallant fame etc.

Far off in sunlit places, Sad are the Scottish faces,
Yearning to feel the Kiss Of sweet Scottish rain.
Where tropic skies are beaming, Love sets the heart a-dreaming,
Longing and dreaming for the homeland again.

Chorus: Towering in gallant fame etc.

(Scotland the Brave) is An ancient pipe tune and stirring words from the heart of Scotland. :)))

Here's another version
From Taylor's Midi Tunebook

Hark when the night is falling
I hear the pipes are calling
Loudly and proudly calling
Down thro' the glen.

There where the hills are sleeping
Now feel the blood a-leaping
High as the spirits of
The old Highland men.

Chorus:
Towering in gallant fame
Scotland my mountain hame
High may your proud standards
Gloriously wave.
Land of my high endeavour
Land of the shining silver
Land of my heart forever
Scotland the Brave.

High in the misty Highlands
Out by the purple islands
Brave are the hearts that beat
Beneath Scottish skies.
Wild are the winds to meet you
Staunch are the friends that greet you
Kind as the love that shines
From fair maidens eyes.
