:lol: That is because it is actually from the official national anthem (well, as official as it gets because God Save The Queen isn't official and has several variations and things). It's just that for some reason (lol) we don't tend to sing this verse so much any more:
O Lord our God arise, Scatter her enemies, And make them fall: Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish[26] tricks, On Thee our hopes we fix: God save us all.
So your mounties were just doing the traditional thing of altering the existing lyrics a bit. In context here, Sir John Wilder is being pulled down by his enemies on all sides, has come up with a plan to put himself back on top, and wanted his secretary to find him the lyrics for that rarely-sung verse, which she does.

O Lord our God arise,
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall:
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish[26] tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix:
God save us all.
