230. 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!

3 Not on this land alone,
but be God's mercies known
on every shore.
Lord, make the nations see
that all humanity
should form one family
the wide world o'er.
