592. 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!
