What are the lyrics to \u2018God Save The Queen\/King\u2019?<\/h2>\n
God save our gracious Queen\/King,\nLong live our noble Queen\/King,\nGod save the Queen\/King!\nSend her\/him victorious,\nHappy and glorious,\nLong to reign over us,\nGod save the Queen\/King!<\/p>\n
O Lord our God arise,\nScatter our enemies,\nAnd make them fall!\nConfound their politics,\nFrustrate their knavish tricks,\nOn Thee our hopes we fix,\nGod save us all!<\/p>\n
Not in this land alone,\nBut be God\u2019s mercies known,\nFrom shore to shore!\nLord make the nations see,\nThat men should brothers be,\nAnd form one family,\nThe wide world o\u2019er.<\/p>\n
From every latent foe,\nFrom the assassins blow,\nGod save the Queen\/King!\nO\u2019er her\/his thine arm extend,\nFor Britain\u2019s sake defend,\nOur mother\/father, prince, and friend,\nGod save the Queen\/king!<\/p>\n
Thy choicest gifts in store,\nOn her be pleased to pour,\nLong may she\/he reign!\nMay she\/he defend our laws,\nAnd ever give us cause,\nTo sing with heart and voice,\nGod save the Queen\/King!<\/p>\n
Did you know\u2026?<\/h2>\n
\u2026When \u2018God Save The King\u2019 was first sang during the reign of George II the lyrics mentioned George in the first line \u2018God save great George our king\u2019? This was alright for George\u2019s II, III and IV, but led to problems when William (IV) and Victoria came to the throne, (try singing it with their names!) so it was changed to \u2018God save our gracious King\/Queen\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2026Liechtenstein\u2019s national anthem \u201cOben am jungen Rhein\u2019 uses the same melody?<\/p>\n
Does the Monarch sing \u2018God Save The Queen\/King\u2019?<\/h2>\n
No they don\u2019t sing the National Anthem as it would be fairly strange to ask God to save yourself!<\/p>\n
