Our National Anthem • God save our gracious Queen, • Long live our noble Queen, • God save the Queen: • Send her victorious, • Happy and glorious, • Long to reign over us: • God save the Queen. • O Lord, our God, arise, • Scatter her enemies, • And make them fall. • Confound their politics, • Frustrate their knavish tricks, • On Thee our hopes we fix, • God save us all. • Thy choicest gifts in store, • On her be pleased to pour; • Long may she reign: • May she defend our laws, • And ever give us cause • To sing with heart and voice • God save the Queen.
