_Priest_. O Lord, hear our prayer.
_Answer_. And let our cry come unto thee.
Let us pray.
O God, who providest for thy people by thy power, and rulest over
them in love; Vouchsafe so to bless thy Servant our King, that
under him this nation may be wisely governed, and thy Church may
serve thee in all godly quietness; and grant that he being devoted
to thee with his whole heart, and persevering in good works unto
the end, may, by thy guidance, come to thine everlasting kingdom;
through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with
thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. _Amen_.
O Lord our God, who upholdest and governest all things by the word
of thy power; Receive our humble prayers for our Sovereign Lord
_GEORGE_, _as on this day_ set over us by thy grace and providence
to be our King; and, together with him, bless, we beseech thee,
our gracious Queen _Mary_, _Alexandra_ the Queen Mother, _Edward_
Prince of Wales, and all the Royal Family; that they, ever trusting
in thy goodness, protected by thy power, and crowned with thy
gracious and endless favour, may long continue before thee in
peace and safety, joy and honour, and after death may obtain
everlasting life and glory; by the merits and mediation of Christ
Jesus our Saviour, who with thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and
reigneth ever one God, world without end. _Amen_.
Almighty God, who rulest over all the kingdoms of the world, and
dost order them according to thy good pleasure; We yield thee
unfeigned thanks, for that thou wast pleased, _as on this day_,
to set thy Servant our Sovereign Lord, King _GEORGE_, upon the
throne of this Realm. Let thy wisdom be his guide, and let thine arm
strengthen him; let truth and justice, holiness and righteousness,
peace and charity abound in his days. Direct all his counsels and
endeavours to thy glory, and the welfare of his subjects; give us
grace to obey him cheerfully for conscience sake, and let him
always possess the hearts of his people; let his reign be long and
prosperous, and crown him with everlasting life in the world to
come; through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
_A Prayer for Unity_.
O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, our only Saviour, the
Prince of Peace; Give us grace seriously to lay to heart the great
dangers we are in by our unhappy divisions. Take away all hatred
and prejudice, and whatsoever else may hinder us from godly union
