188. God Save the 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 Through every changing scene,
O Lord, preserve our King;
Long may He reign:
His heart inspire and move
With wisdom from above,
And in a nation's love
His throne maintain.

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.
