¶Lyrics / Text

Here's a health to the King, who sits on the throne, And to glorious Prince George, that's Heir to the Crown: Here's likewise a health to Duke William renown'd, And to Prussia's great monarch, whose actions are crown'd With laurels victorious: Ye Britons, now sing Of their honour and fame, so God save the King.
