354b. God save our gracious Queen

1 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.

2 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.
