O Kingof kings: Thy blessing shed
On our anointed Sovereign's head:
And, looking from Thy holy Heaven,
Protect the crown Thyself hast given.
Him may we honour and obey,
Uphold his right and lawful sway;
Rememb'ring that the powers that be
Are ministers ordained of Thee.
Him with Thy choicest mercies bless,
To all his counsels give success;[1]Alike in joy and sorrow bring
Thy mighty aid, God save the King!
And oh! when earthly thrones decay,
And earthly kingdoms fade away,
Grant him a throne in worlds on high,
A Crown of immortality.
Amen.
