A NATION'S DESIRE.

By Helen Mar Johnson

God hear our fervent prayer,

God bless the royal pair,

God save the Queen!

Guide them in all their ways,

And may their wedded days

Be ordered to thy praise;

God save the Queen!

The waves will soon divide

Thee and thy home, young bride;

God save the Queen!

But over land and sea

Warm hearts will follow thee,

First rose of England's tree;

God save the Queen.
