　　　　　　　　　　 ---- God Save the Queen

God save our gracious Queen,　　　　　　　Long live our noble Queen,　　　　　　　

God save the Queen,　　　　　　　　Send her victorious,　　　　　　　　　　　　Happy and glorious,　　　　　　　　　　　　  Long to rein over us:　　　　　　　　　　　　 God save the Queen.　　　　　　　　　　　　  O Lord our God arise,　　　　　　　　　　　

Scatter her enemies,　　　　　　　　　　　　  And make them fall;　　　　　　　　　　　　Confound their politics,　　　　　　　　　　

Frustrate their knavish tricks,　　　　　　　　On Thee our hopes we fix:　　　　　　　　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.
