A Prayer for the Queen's Majesty

john 16:23-24

O Lord, our heavenly Father, the high and mighty, King of kings, Lord of lords, the only Ruler of princes,1

who does from your throne behold all the dwellers upon earth;2

Most heartily we beseech you with your favour to behold our most gracious Sovereign Lady, Queen ELIZABETH;3

and so replenish her with the grace of your Holy Spirit, that she may always incline to your will, and walk in your way.4

Endue her plenteously with heavenly gifts;5

grant her in health and wealth long to live;6

strengthen her that she may vanquish and overcome all her enemies;7

and finally, after this life, she may attain everlasting joy and felicity; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.8
