, lift your voices To our Father's Throne on high! Many a land to-day rejoices, Many a coast prolongs the cry— God save the King!

Dusky Indian, strong Australian, Western forest, Southern sea, None are wanting, none are alien, All in one great prayer agree— God save the King!

God with bounteous gifts supplied him, Friends and statesmen wise and just, One beyond all else beside him, True and strong, in whom to trust. God save the King!

Faithfully his people love him, Hail his Coronation Year. Let Thy shield be still above him, Save from danger and from fear— God save the King!

Spare him long through changing seasons Still to rule his subject isles; Guard his throne from wars and treasons, Wild revolt and secret wiles. God save the King!

Then, when ends his long probation, Earthly care and state laid down, Grant him, Lord, Thy full salvation, Grant him Life's unfading crown. God save the King! Amen.
