The King and Court
ALMIGHTY God, the Source of all rightful power amongst us Thy creatures, give Thy grace unto our Sovereign Lord King George, and all the Royal Family, that, acknowledging their power to be dependent on Thy supreme Majesty, they may come to reign with Thee in Thine everlasting Kingdom. Grant also that the spirit of godliness ruling their hearts, may quicken all those who are round about them to a sense of the nothingness of earthly glory, and the necessity of striving after that which is eternal; so may all their counsels and actions be directed to Thine honour, and the nation at large be brought to participate in Thine acceptance of their faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
