O Lord our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, who
hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day: Defend us
in the same with thy mighty power; and grant that this day we
fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger; but that
all our doings may be ordered by thy governance, to do always
that is righteous in thy sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
_Amen_.
_In Quires and Places where they sing here followeth the Anthem_.
_Then these five Prayers following are to be read here: Except
when the Litany is read; and then only the two last are to be
ready as they are there placed_.
_A Prayer for the King's Majesty_.
O Lord our heavenly Father, high and mighty, King of kings,
Lord of lords, the only Ruler of princes, who dost from thy
throne behold all the dwellers upon earth: Most heartily we
beseech thee with thy favour to behold our most gracious Sovereign
Lord, King _GEORGE_, and so replenish him with the grace of thy
Holy Spirit, that he may alway incline to thy will, and walk in
thy way: Endue him plenteously with heavenly gifts; grant him in
health and wealth long to live; strengthen him that he may
vanquish and overcome all his enemies, and finally after this
life he may attain everlasting joy and felicity; through Jesus
Christ our Lord, _Amen_.
_A Prayer for the Royal Family_.
Almighty God, the fountain of all goodness, we humbly beseech
thee to bless our gracious Queen _Mary_, _Alexandra_ the Queen
Mother, _Edward_ Prince of Wales, and all the Royal Family: Endue
them with thy Holy Spirit; enrich them with thy heavenly grace;
prosper them with all happiness; and bring them to thine ever
lasting kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
