The Original Version
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!
Nor on this land alone
But be God's mercies known
From shore to shore.
Lord, make the nations see
That men should brothers be
And form one family
The wide world o'er.
|
The Second Version
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!
Our loved Dominion Bless
With peace and happiness
From shore to shore
And let our Empire be
Loyal, united, free,
True to herself and thee
For evermore.
