God save the Queen (NZ)

God save the Queen is New Zealand second official national anthem.The Ministry's guidelines for choosing which anthem should be used on
any occasion advise that "God Save The Queen" would be appropriate at
any occasion where Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II , or a member of the New Zealand Royal Family,
or the Governor-General, when within New Zealand, is officially present or
when loyalty to the crown is to be stressed; while "God Defend New Zealand"
would be appropriate whenever the national identity of New Zealand is to be
stressed even in association with a toast to Her Majesty as Queen of New Zealand".oh umm please dont creep , comment and rate , thank you : )

@pownbnull Can I just say that it wasn't a convict ship that was sent , New Zealand was founded by free settlers! God Save the Queen , God Defend New Zealand.

As a British Canadian. I am so glad that NZ is also in our brotherhood of nations.

Long live the Commonwealth...

Splendid! "God Save the Queen" is one of my favorite national anthems of the world along with ours, "The Star-Spangled Banner." Thanks for uploading! Greetings from "the land of the free and the home of the brave" that is the United States of America!

@holdenrepublic: Well actually the second verse is no longer anti-catholic. Granted it was originally "frustrate their popish tricks" but that was changed by King George V to be knavish rather than popish.

this is the best rendition of GStQ

@RtHonDan4whoresnorth Nice attempt at changing the subject. The fact is the "traditional New Zealander" anthem still contains the anti-Catholic second verse. It's on the Ministry of Culture and Heritage website.

@RtHonDan4whoresnorth some examples from so called secular countries : austria - cathedrals , a high mission. sweden - along with god. russia - protected by god switzerland - pray to god south korea - god protect and preserve turkey - god worshipping nation . marshell islands - maker from above canada - god keep or land mongolia - sacred ancestry

@nzrepublicmovement as we stated before god save the queen was promulgated as a Traditional New Zealander anthem what your stating is for the british GSTQ , as for your other statement a lot of secular nations have religious connotations in their anthems not to mention the numeral of coat of arms and they're not clamouring to change them , so does the republicmovements support the removal of god and atua in god defend new zealand ?
