GOD SAVE THE KING

Reading edition · Edition 2

HENRY CAREY

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. 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. 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!

Printed by T. and A. CONSTABLE, (late) Printers to Her Majesty at the Edinburgh University Press.
