Sovereign Of All! Whose Will Ordains
The Powers On Earth That Be,
By Whom Our Rightful Monarch Reigns,
Subject To None But Thee:
Stir Up Thy Power, Appear, Appear,
And For Thy Servant Fight;
Support Thy Great Vicegerent Here,
And Vindicate His Right.
Lo! In The Arms Of Faith And Prayer
We Bear Him To Thy Throne;
Receive Thy Own Peculiar Care,
The Lord’s Anointed One.
With Favour Look Upon His Face;
Thy Love’s Pavilion Spread,
And Watchful Troops Of Angels Place
Around His Sacred Head.
Guard Him From All Who Dare Oppose
Thy Delegate And Thee;
From Open And From Secret Foes,
From Force And Perfidy!
Confound Whoe’er His Ruin Seek,
Or Into Friends Convert:
Give Him His Adversaries’ Neck;
Give Him His People’s Heart.
Let Us, For Conscience’ Sake, Revere
The Man Of Thy Right Hand;
Honour And Love Thine Image Here,
And Bless His Mild Command.
Thou Only Didst The Blessing Give;
The Glory, Lord, Be Thine:
Let All With Thankful Joy Receive
The Benefit Divine.
To Those Who Thee In Him Obey,
The Spirit Of Grace Impart:
His Dear, His Sacred Burden Lay
On Every Loyal Heart.
Still Let Us Pray, And Never Cease,
“Defend Him, Lord, Defend:
Stablish His Throne In Glorious Peace,
And Save Him To The End!”
