You obviously have a different understanding of the word "Gracious". As a reference to the monarch, the word carries with it the explicit meaning of mercy, justice and even-handedness and as such it is an admirable quality in anyone and one which is devoutly to be wished for in any monarch. In the context of the National Anthem the word is not associated with attributes which may be seen as exclusively feminine.
