The last time this was officially sung my long-deceased grandparents were in their early twenties with a couple of toddlers. Long live the King.

For future generations this used to be the anthem:
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
RIP to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
1926-2022 🕊💗

So surreal to think that for most of us, this is what it will be for the rest of our lives.

Goosebumps. First time this particular anthem has been sung in 70 years. Absolutely chilling.

[italoluder]

A historical moment. All the best for the task he awaited so long.

[deondrej.jackson]

For a lot of people this is their first time singing this rendition. Historic to say the least.

God have mercy on your servant king. Guide him so that he may also guide the people you've put in his care. Oh God, save the king. Bless also the pilgrimage his mother now takes towards your shores. And may she rest in peace. In Jesus's name. Amen.

[claudiojrmiranda]

God saved the Queen, God save the king

[junerobertson]

Beautiful. As long as he stays away from political issues, he will be a great King. Long live the King!

I sung it for the first time on Sunday, in church and at our local Proclamation ceremony. Thankfully I sung it right.
Very emotional I have to say.

Am I the only one hearing "Queen" at the end rather than "King" ? It makes sense, it's hard to flip a 70 year old switch. It's a whole world that has gone with Her 💜

I just wanted to say how much I like this photo portrait of her late Majesty as it reflects back on the softness of her early childhood portraits. She is now enjoying her well earned rest, singing along with the angels and all the saints praising God. Thanks be to God. Thanks for this tasteful item.

This is the first time I’ve heard “God Save The King”. Beautiful.

We are entering in the King Charles era... Never thought I'd live to see this day :')

[sarahanna]

Lord grant wisdom to the king as he take his new responsibilities and comfort the family and the country for the loss of the beloved Queen Elizabeth. In. Jesus name we pray . Amen .

[akshatgurjar]

Oh Lord, Bless our noble, gracious and beloved HM The Queen.
She will remain in our hearts forever.
We were so fortunate to have her as our ruler.
Can't imagine that now she is not between us.
Terribly heartbroken to her demise.
GOD BLESS THE QUEEN.
LONG LIVE THE KING.
Heartiest Condolences to the ROYAL FAMILY, the people of the UK, the Commonwealth, the realms and all over the world.
TRIBUTE TO HM THE QUEEN from INDIA.

Yesterday we still have sung God save the Queen. And today we sing God save the King. May HM Queen Elizabeth II Rest In Peace. And long live HM King Charles III.

[RedWarrior]

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
