, Who, in the days of old, Didst raise up David from the fold, Who didst to David's son impart A wise and understanding heart.

O King of Kings, to-day look down From heaven Thy dwelling-place, and crown With blessings from Thy throne outpoured, Thy servant, and our sovereign lord.

Bless him with health, and length of days, With wealth and power, with fame and praise; Bless with the crown all crowns above, His people's trust, his people's love.

Let truth and justice, joy and peace, Through all his world-wide realms increase; And send him from Thy holy place Thy saving help, Thy favouring grace.

Bless Thou our King, and with him bless With lifelong health and happiness, And children's children at her knee, The mother of our kings to be.

So we, for whom Thou dost provide, The flock Thou deignest, Lord, to guide, With grateful hearts, and loud acclaim, Will laud and magnify Thy name. Amen.
