God save the Queen/King

God save the Queen/King (God Save the King or God Save the Queen, depending on the gender of the reigning monarch) is the Royal anthem in Canada. It goes:


 * God Save the Queen
 * (standard version)
 * 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!

When the monarch of the time is male, "Queen" is replaced with "King" and all feminine pronouns (in bold type) are replaced with their masculine equivalents.
