Accession of Queen Elizabeth II


Almighty God, the fountain of all goodness,
bless our Sovereign Lady, Queen Elizabeth,
and all who are in authority under her;
that they may order all things
in wisdom and equity, righteousness and peace,
to the honour and glory of your name
and the good of your Church and people;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

A moment of sad reflection on the loss of a good and just monarch and for celebration for the reign of an excellent, loyal and prayerful woman.

God Save the Queen! (more than just a song)

If . . .

If you were to come today
What would I do - what would I say
Who would I meet - who would I see
How many would be surprised at seeing me?

The things I've done
The man I am
The life I've lived - the pious sham
You saw through that and loved me still
Thought just of me as you climbed the hill
Bloodied hands around the cross,
My greatest gain your greatest loss!

But if you don't and no trumpet sounds
Keep our feet from sinking ground
And help us in our daily grind
With holy hands and holy mind
To live in love - to look like you
Until our daily grind is through.


A prayer for this, and every, day.
