"Har en Skål fur Hans Majestet" is an Emerstarian patriotic song or glee, and it has been used as the regimental march of the Kuinglig Sundhedskkorps since 1812. The song is, during the reign of female monarchs, sung as "Har en Skål fur Hens Majestet."

The song was written by Theodor Deitrik Rasmussen–Kleber in 1729 when Erik VIII Olaf had fallen ill with a cold as a pro-royalist song. The song was first sung shortly after the King's recovery at a feast held in Rensulier Palace, and it was published in several books thereafter. It is commonly sung after "Der Kuingssång" and before "Regel Emerige!" at the coronation of a monarch.

The song is divided into three stanzas, each of four lines.

1 Har en Skål fur Hans Majestet, — Bønfaller God fur hans Sundhet. Har en Skål fur Hans Majestet, — Maj førevaksling reise der forrådrehet. 2 Until ham hvem har ikke en Skål, Vi hoppar ham ej Vett eller Valhet, Varken ån afen en rep å flyggar hansjelv. Med en fa la lal la lal la. 3 Så latter alla oss Kuingister samlas, Å drikke vår bra Skål fur Hans Majestet. Med en fa la lal la lal la. Med en fa la lal la lal la.

1 Have a toast for His Majesty, — Pray to God for his Soundness Have a toast for his Majesty, — May confusion go to the treacherous. 2 Unto him who does not have a toast, We hope for him neither wit nor wealth, Neither a rope to fly himself With a fa la lal la lal la. 3 So let all of us Royalists gather, To drink our good toast for His Majesty. With a fa la lal la lal la. With a fa la lal la lal la.
