For the King and Nation

For the King and Nation

ALMIGHTY Lord, of Whose righteous Will all things are, and were created; Thou hast gathered our people into a great nation, and sent them to sow beside all waters, and multiply sure dwellings on the earth. Deepen the root of our life in everlasting righteousness. Make us equal to our high trusts, reverent in the use of freedom, just in the exercise of power, generous in the protection of weakness. With all Thy blessings, bless Thy servant George, our King, with all the members of the Royal House. Fill his heart and theirs with such loyalty to Thee, that his people may be exalted by their loyalty to him. To our legislators and counsellors give insight and faithfulness, that our laws may clearly speak the right, and our judges purely interpret them. May wisdom and knowledge be the stability of our times, and our deepest trust be in Thee, the Lord of Nations, and the King of Kings, even Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
