Music God Save the Queen | Adopted 1906 | |
Lyrics Henrik Wergeland & Gustav Jensen | ||
Kongesangen ("King's Song") is Norway's royal anthem. The lyrics come in several versions. The first version (Gud signe kongen vor) was written by Henrik Wergeland, but the version used today and quoted below was written by Gustav Jensen for the coronation of Haakon VII and Maud of Wales in 1906. It was inspired by the British royal and national anthem, and set to the tune of "God Save the Queen".
