An Acrostic Prayer for Coronation: 22 June, 1911
Great God of Nations, King of Kings,
Oh! Let Thy grace divine,
Descend on our dear country’s King,
Save him, and make him Thine;
All needed wisdom, health, and strength
Vouchsafe King George this day,
Enrich him with Thy heavenly love;
Keep him in Thine own way.
In all things be Thy Word his guide,
Nor let his courage fail;
Give him to know the peace of Christ;
Grant that no ills assail.
Enable him the cleansing power
Of Jesu’s blood to prove,
Remembering that Lord of All,
Gladly at whose dear feet we fall,
Eternally doth love.
S. T.
22nd June 1911.
