A prayer for king and country
W. Davies
O God, whose mercy led us through
The years of war into this peace.
Grant that the world may make anew
Man's spirit, that his quarrels cease.
O Power, hear us as we sing.
And bless this Country and her King.
O Son, whose fellowship consoles
All lonely mortals in despair,
Help us to brother human souls
To lovely issues everywhere.
O Power, hear us as we sing,
And bless this Country and her King.
O Spirit, who art infinite
In Wisdom, Beauty, Joy and Truth,
Come down into our minds with light.
Renew our Nation into youth.
O Power, hear us as we sing.
And bless this Country and her King.
