United Kingdom National Anthem

Click here to listen to the United Kingdom's National Anthem "God Save the Queen."


Lyrics:
God save our gracious Queen
Long live our noble Queen
God save the Queen
Send her victorious
Happy and glorious
Long to reign over us
God save the Queen

O Lord our God arise
Scatter her 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 her be pleased to pour
Long may she reign
May she defend our laws
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen

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 Queen
O'er her thine arm extend
For Britain's sake defend
Our mother, prince, and friend
God save the Queen

Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring
May he sedition hush
And like a torrent rush
Rebellious Scots to crush
God save the King


Description:
 The United Kingdom's National Anthem "God Save the Queen" sounds very similar to the United State's National Anthem "The Star Spangled Banner."  It has a very similar beat and they are both patriotic to the countries.  There are obviously very different lyrics.  "God Save the Queen" is a slower version, in my opinion, to "The Star Spangled Banner."
