Save the Queen"
God bless our Native Land,
And may she ever stand
Anchor d In THEE,
A light to all around.
And may her power abound,
To send Joyful sound
Ger every sea.
God bless our Chosen Home,
Through all the ears to come,
With JOY and peace
United may we be.
As strong as we are free,
And growing more like THEE,
Till time shall cease.
God save the President,
Congress and Parliament,
God save the Queenl
Or people bless and bind
In one, with heart and mind
Joy to all mankind,
God save the Queenl
