The Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Prayer for the Queen
V. O Lord, save Elizabeth, our Queen.
R. And hear us on the day we call upon you.
V. O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come before you.
V. The Lord be with you.
R. And with your spirit.
Almighty God, we pray,
that your servant Elizabeth, our Queen,
who, by your providence has received the governance of this realm,
may continue to grow in every virtue,
that, imbued with your heavenly grace,
she may be preserved from all that is harmful and evil
and, being blessed with your favour
may, with the royal family,
come at last into your presence,
through Christ who is the way, the truth and the life
and who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen
| Jerusalem | I Vow to Thee My Country | National Anthem |

And did those feet in ancient time And did the Countenance Divine Bring me my bow of burning gold: I will not cease from mental fight, |
I vow to thee, my country The love that asks no questions The love that never falters And there's another country We may (we may not count her armies) And soul by soul and silently |
God save our gracious Queen! Thy choicest gifts in store |
