1God save our gracious King,
Long live our noble King,
God save the King:
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the King.
Optional.
2O Lord our God, arise,
Scatter his enemies,
And make them fall:
Confound their politics;
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix;
God save us all.
3Thy choicest gifts in store
On him be pleased to pour;
Long may he reign.
May he defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the King. Amen.

4With England's crown to-day
We hail our King, and pray
God save the King.
Guide him in happiness,
Guard him in storm and stress,
Then in Thy Kingdom bless
And crown our King.
