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!

Die laaste drie van die voormalige ses verse is nie meer in gebruik nie:

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 over.

From every latent foe,

From the assassins blow,

God save the King!

O'er him thine arm extend,

For Britain's sake defend,

Our mother, prince, and friend,

God save the King!

Lord grant that Marshall Wade

May by thy mighty aid

Victory bring.

May he sedition hush,

And like a torrent rush,

With heart and voice to sing,

God save the King

As die monarg 'n koningin is, word die volgende woorde vervang King/Queen, he/she, him/her, his/her en die laaste twee verse verander in:

Rebellious Scots to crush.

God save the Queen!
