As much as I love this song, it is not notable for Wikipedia. It does not pass WP:GNG. ✉cookiemonster✉ ^𝚨755𝛀 03:29, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It does fulfil the notability criteria of WP:NSONG as a song that has been "independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands, or groups." Not to mention the fact that it has been published in numerous hymnals worldwide should also mean it meet the notability criteria. The C of E God Save the Queen!

Keep Well known internationally, long established, recorded many, many times. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:11, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the above arguments. St Anselm (talk) 19:42, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Recorded multiple times by notable artists. If anything, the article could probably be expanded with the various less serious/parody verses like "Give me gas for my Ford..." etc. [1]. Jclemens (talk) 21:17, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- The article is useful in providing some background to a rather banal "chorus". Peterkingiron (talk) 10:12, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
