GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.
WITH ADDITIONAL STANZAS.
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.
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!
Strengthen her high estate
Evermore good and great,
And from all Popish hate
God save us all.
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall!
Strengthen her high estate
Evermore good and great,
And from all Popish hate
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.
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.
May she our Church secure
Protestant plain and pure,
As it hath been;
So shall our State still be
Freest among the free,
Shouting from sea to sea
God save the Queen.
Protestant plain and pure,
As it hath been;
So shall our State still be
Freest among the free,
Shouting from sea to sea
God save the Queen.
For on whatever shore
Henceforth as heretofore
Our flag is seen,
There shall this psalm be sung
By every heart and tongue,
Rich and poor, old and young,
God save the Queen!

There shall this psalm be sung
By every heart and tongue,
Rich and poor, old and young,
