The Queen, O God,
her heart to thee upraiseth;
with her the nation bows before thy face;
with high thanksgiving thee
thy glad Church praiseth,
our strength thy spirit,
our trust and hope thy grace.
Unto great honor, glory undeserèd,
hast thou exalted us and drawn thee nigh;
nor, from thy judgments
when our feet had swervèd,
didst thou forsake,
nor leave us, Lord most high.
In thee our fathers trusted
and were savèd,
in thee destroyèd thrones of tyrants proud;
from ancient bondage freed
the poor enslavèd;
to sow thy truth poured out
their saintly blood.
Unto our minds give freedom
and uprightness;
let strength and courage
lead o'er land and wave;
to our souls' armor
grant celestial brightness,
joy to our hearts and faith
beyond the grave.
Our plenteous nation
still in power extending,
increase our joy,
uphold us by thy word;
beauty and wisdom all our ways attending,
good will to man and peace
through Christ our Lord.
