God Save The Queen (Songs Abroad/England)
By use and common agreement England's national anthem. The words "God Save The King" appear in the King James Bible and in various royal tributes as far back as the tenth century A.D. Publication of the original 3 verses and official musical performance similar to what we know today are traceable back to 1745. Use of the tune for "America(My Country, 'Tis Of Thee)," understandably disqualified it as the national anthem for the newly liberated colonies.
