God Save The King Lyrics

[Verse 1]
God 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

[Verse 2]
O 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 the king

[Verse 3]
Thy 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
[Verse 4]
Not in 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

[Verse 5]
From every latent foe
From the assassin's blow
God save the king
O'er him Thine arm extend
For Britain's sake defend
Our father, prince and friend
God save the king
