As a satirical term for his rival Ambrose Philips Carey’s poetry introduced the term ‘namby-pamby’ to the language, he also wrote the celebrated ditty ‘Sally In Our Alley’ and he may have been the author and composer of the British National Anthem, ‘God Save The King’ and appears to have been the first to sing it.
Occasionally he ran into trouble over his anti-Walpolean politics.

Hymn – God bless our native land – Lyrics (1870)
God bless our native land!
Firm may she ever stand
Thro’ storm and night!
When the wild tempests rave,
Ruler of wind and wave
Do Thou our country save
By Thy great might.
For her our prayer shall rise
To God above the skies;
On Him we wait.
Thou who art ever nigh,
Guarding with watchful eye,
To Thee aloud we cry,
God save the State!
