A Prayer to be prayed by the subjects of Queen Elizabeth II. Let us pray:
"Almighty God, who rulest over all the kingdoms of the world, and dost order them according to thy good pleasure: we give thee hearty thanks for that thou didst set thy servant our sovereign lady, Queen Elizabeth II, upon the throne of this realm fifty years ago. We thank thee that thy wisdom has been her guide and thine arm her strength; let truth and justice, holiness and righteousness, peace and charity, continue to abound in her days; continue to direct all her counsels and endeavours to thy glory, and the welfare of her subjects; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
