May our heroes, far and near, Dreadful to our foes appear; May the British flag unfurl'd Bid defiance to the world. May our arms our foes destroy And restore us peace and joy. 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, And restore us peace and joy.
