Does it sound as dirge-like sung as God Save the Queen/King?

(Which can sound incredibly uplifting and rousing as an instrumental - much to my annoyance when it comes on between radio 4 going off-air and the world service taking over, as Sailing By and the shipping forecast have lulled me into a state of drowsiness; but never seems to achieve anything like that when sung.)
