The National Anthem
(This is Gordon Jacob's arrangement set for single manual organ by me!)
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.
Thy choicest gifts in store
On him be pleased to pour,
Long may he reign.
May he defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the King.
Performed by Chris Nott on 20th October 2022 on the organ at St Mary's Church, Quarry Street, Guildford built by Saxon Aldred of Redbourn, Hertfordshire in 1988.
