347. God Save Our Gracious King

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.

2 O Lord our God arise,
Scatter his enemies,
And make them fall:
Confound their politics;
Frustrate their knavish tricks;
On him our hopes we fix;
God save us all.

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.
