Bozhe Tsarya Khrani (God Save the Tsar) was the national anthem of the Russian Empire between 1833 and the fall of the Empire in 1917. It was composed by violinist Alexei Lvov, with lyrics written by the court poet Vasily Zhukovsky.
Here are the English Lyrics:
God, save the Tsar!
Strong and sovereign,
Reign for glory, for our glory!
Reign to make enemies fear,
Orthodox Tsar!
God, save the Tsar!
Strong and sovereign,
Reign for glory, for our glory!
Reign to make enemies fear,
Orthodox Tsar!
God, save the Tsar!
