As part of their naturalization ceremony, new Britons will have to sing “God
Save the Queen”
.
I think this is a totally excellent idea. Nobody should become a citizen
who can’t do at least one verse of the Ntional Anthem. I can actually sing
the SECOND verse of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Here is the second verse of
“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!
