Baah ! "Thy choicest gifts in store" is not the second verse but the third.
Second verse is
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!
Look for the lyrics sheet from 1745 @ Wikipedia :)

@kurloid ....god save ME..??? lol
-
Another interesting fact about the Queen is that she never crosses arms with other people when "Auld Lang syne" is sung because she is not a so-called "commonor" and therefore can not be seen as one. At least I think that is the reason.
-
@kurloid It would be a little strange for her to wish herself long life, glory and victory I think.
-
very nice everithing.....the splendor of the british monarchy...is beautiful...but I just can believe that the people in the ceremony need to read the lyrics of their anthem in a paper.
-
Strange 'pc' words to the second verse. They wont catch on!
-
@kurloid i think she dont sing it because its her "song" and she dont sing about her self ^^
-
@kurloid From what I understand (although I'm not British), the monarch never sings the National anthem during their reign. I'm sure that before her coronation in 1953, she did sing it along with everyone else. If you think about it, I guess it'd be a bit silly for her to be singing about God saving herself...

I've noticed, the Queen never sings the national anthem, any reason why she doesnt?

What's with that second verse? That's sure not "Thy choicest gifts in store"

@rileykernaghan It's known best as the 'Commonwealth Verse', written by William Edward Hickson in the C19. The verse is:
Not 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 from one family
The wide world o'er.
