God Save the Queen
National Anthem Lyrics

God save our gracious Queen,
We beseech you, God, to protect our kind and benevolent Queen,

Long live our noble Queen,
May our virtuous Queen reign for a long time,

God save the Queen!
We implore God to save and preserve the Queen!

Send her victorious,
Grant her triumph and success,

Happy and glorious,
May she be joyful and splendid,

Long to reign over us,
May she rule over us for a long time,

God save the Queen!
We appeal to God to save and safeguard the Queen!

O lord God arise,
Oh Lord, please come to our aid,

Scatter our enemies,
Drive away our foes,

And make them fall!
Make them succumb and fail!

Confound their knavish tricks,
Thwart their deceitful schemes,

Confuse their politics,
Disrupt their political strategies,

On you our hopes we fix,
Our hopes rest entirely on you,

God save the Queen!
We plead to God to defend and protect the Queen!

Not in this land alone,
May God's mercy be felt beyond our borders,

But be God's mercies known,
May God's kindness be experienced everywhere,

From shore to shore!
From one end of the world to the other!

Lord make the nations see,
Lord, help all nations realize,

That men should brothers be,
That all people should treat each other as siblings,

And form one family,
And come together as one worldwide family,

The wide world ov'er
Across the whole wide world

From every latent foe,
From every hidden enemy,

From the assassins blow,
From the attacks of murderers,

God save the Queen!
We request God to protect and defend the Queen!

O'er her thine arm extend,
Extend your arm over her, to shield and defend her,

For Britain's sake defend,
Defend her for the sake of Britain,

Our mother, prince, and friend,
Our mother-country, ruler, and ally,

God save the Queen!
We entreat God to save and watch over the Queen!

Thy choicest gifts in store,
May you have your best gifts waiting in store for her,

On her be pleased to pour,
May you bless her with those gifts, out of your graciousness,

Long may she reign!
May she reign for a long time!

May she defend our laws,
May she protect and uphold our laws,

And ever give us cause,
And always provide us with a reason,

To sing with heart and voice,
To sing with fervour and zeal,

God save the Queen!
We beseech God to save and secure the Queen!
