God Save the King

God Save the King, eða God Save the Queen, er þjóðsöngur Breta. Þegar konungur ríkir í Bretlandi er lagið nefnt God Save the King, en í tíð ríkjandi drottningar er það titlað God Save the Queen, og orðinu king ‘konungur’ í textanum hvarvetna breytt í queen ‘drottning’; þetta breyttist síðast árið 2022 þegar Karl þriðji Bretakonungur tók við krúnunni eftir andlát móður sinnar Elísabetar annarar Bretadrottningar.

 Texti ljóðsins 
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 Thee 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!

4. Not in this land alone,
But be God's mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world o'er.

5. From every latent foe,
From the assassins blow,
God save the King!
O'er him thine arm extend,
For Britain's sake defend,
Our father, prince, and friend,
God save the King!
