The first half is from the great Don Boudreaux, the second half is about Thomas Heyward, Jr:

God Save The States! vs God Save The Queen:

God save the Thirteen States!

Long rule the United States!

God save our States!

Make us victorious,

Happy and glorious;

No tyrants over us;

God save our States!

Oft did America

Foresee with sad dismay

Her slav’ry near.

Oft did her grievance state,

But Britain, falsely great,

Urging her desp’rate fate,

Turned a deaf ear.

We’ll fear no tyrant’s nod,

Nor stern oppression’s rod,

Till time’s no more.

Thus Liberty,

when driv’n
From Europe’s states,

is giv’n
A safe retreat and hav’n

On our free shore.

O Lord! Thy gifts in store,

We pray on Congress pour,

To guide our States.

May union bless our land,

While we, with heart and hand,

Our mutual rights defend;

God save our States!
