God bless our native land!
May Heav’n’s protecting hand
Still guard our shore:
May peace his power extend,
Foe be transformed to friend,
And Britain’s rights depend
On war no more.
O Lord, our monarch bless
With strength and righteousness:
Long may he reign:
His heart inspire and move
With wisdom from above;
And in a nation’s love
His throne maintain.
May just and righteous laws
Uphold the public cause,
And bless our Isle:
Home of the brave and free,
Thou land of Liberty,
We pray that still on thee
Kind Heav’n may smile.
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.
