MessageMr Speaker,

This hymn is quite long as it stands, so I plan to keep the Bill in debate so that the committee can discuss whether to remove or modify any of the versus, if it has enough support at all.

MessageMr Speaker,

These are the versus that have already been removed at the time of drafting:

God save our Holy King,
Long live our Emperor,
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 she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
With heart and voice to sing
God save the King.

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

One realm of races four
Blest more and ever more
God save our land!
Home of the brave and free
Set by the silver sea
True nurse of chivalry
God save our land!

Of many a race and birth
From utmost ends of earth
God save us all!
Bid strife and hatred cease
Bid hope and joy increase
Spread universal peace
God save us all!

MessageMr Speaker,

After a review of Terran national anthems it appears that some of these verses are already being used, by the United Republics of Saridan, oddly enough considering the wording.

Furthermore, it would appear that a version of "And did those feet in ancient time", about Jerusalem, is already the national anthem of the Aldurian Republic Empire, and "Land of Hope and Glory", formerly a Luthori anthem, is being used by the Republic of Telamon.

We have therefore altered our proposal as a rewording of our current anthem. The original proposal appears below for the record:

O Lord, our monarch bless
With strength and righteousness:
Long may he reign:
His heart inspire and move
With wisdom from above;
And in a nation's love
His throne maintain

O Lord, our God, arise,
Scatter his enemies,
And make them fall.
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all.

Our loved Dominions bless
With peace and happiness
From shore to shore;
And let our Empire be
Loyal, united, free
True to himself and Thee
God save the King.

God bless our native land!
May heaven's protecting hand
Still guard our shore:
May peace her power extend,
Foe be transformed to friend,
And Luthori rights depend
On war no more.

May just and righteous laws
Uphold the public cause,
And bless our land:
Home of the brave and free,
Thou land of liberty,
We pray that still on thee
Kind heaven may smile.

Nor on 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 o'er
