Father! dwelling in the light Of greater suns than beat on earthly thrones, 'Tis Thou hast raised our Empire to its height, And every heart Thy power and glory owns. Eternal praise Thy faithful children bring, O crown with blessings our beloved King.

O unity of never failing power, Give us the mother in the son to-day, And shed, blest Spirit, in his needful hour, Thy sanctifying influence on his way. Eternal praise, &c.

Fount of all wisdom, with Thy Heavenly light, Illume and guide Thy servant on the road Of this life's pilgrimage, to read aright His people's welfare and his work for God. Eternal praise, &c.

King of all Kings, throned in eternal state, Stablish and strengthen King and people, then In strength and peace our lands and seas shall wait The consummation of Thy Great Amen. Eternal praise, &c. Amen.
