God bless our native land,
May Thy protecting hand
Still guard her shore;
May peace her 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 she reign!
Her heart inspire and move
With wisdom from above;
And in a nation’s love
Her 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 heaven may smile.
Nor on this land alone,
But be Thy mercies known
From shore to shore.
Lord, make the nations see
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
One, the world o’er.
---Alternative verses---
God bless our native land,
May Heaven's protecting hand
Still guard our shore ;
May peace her power extend,
Foe be transformed to friend,
And Britain's rights depend
On war no more.
And not this land alone,
But by Thy 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.
