Excerpt from Wild Blossoms of Poesy: Or, One Hundred Original Songs, Amatory, Anacreontic and National, Mostly Adapted to Favourite and Fashionable Melodies

God Save The King!

O! God to thee we sing,
Shelter beneath thy wing,
William our King!
Give to him statesmen wise,
May they all bribes despise,
And live pure in thine eyes,
God save our King!

Give to him warriors brave,
Bold seamen for the wave.
God save our King!
Protect our liberty,
And keep our nation free
As the billows of the sea.
God save our King!

When Faction's storms increase,
Send the bright Angel - Peace,
To glad our King.
Thou who art King of All,
Lord, hear thy people call,
Let not old England fall,
O! save her King!
