PROCESSIONAL HYMN, "^lvhe.—" Aurella." (A. tt- M. :il5 ; Hymnal 385; S. P. C. K. JIS.) I, GOD, the King of nations, On whose support we lean, Hear Thou our supplications — " God save our gracious Queen." Through fifty years of blessing Thou hast upheld her throne, Accept us now confessing The praise is Thine alone. II. Still may her reign be glorious, Both peace and honour give, And grant her long victorious, In health and wealth to live ; Thy Word her sure reliance, Thy strength her safety he ; O Lord, her sole affiance Be evermore in Thee. III. Grant her Thy strong protection In ev'ry hour cf need. And seeking Thy direction In thought, in word, in deed, May she exalt the nation Committed to her charge. And speed Thy great salvation Throughout the world at large. IV. Give her the heart right royal Inclined to keep Thy way, Give us the spirit loyal To serve her and obey, "in Thee, and /or Thee," knowing " Whose minister she is," Our firm allegiance shewing We own her rule as His. V. Her life has had its sadness, Its noon of dark'ning grief; Lord, let its evening gladness Bring sunshine and relief — Her children's love possessing, Her people's grateful praise, And all Thy choicest blessings To cheer her closing days. VI. And when this life is ended, Her diadem laid down. To her be then extended The everlasting crown ; And having served Thee, lowly, In faith, and fear, and loye, Vouchsafe, O Lord, most Holy, Her Jubilee above. An^cn. I ..

Before Thy throne we bend, To Thee our thanks ascend. All praise to Thee ; That Thou hast been her stay, Been with her all her way, Brought her to this glad day — Her Jubilee. Such blessings from Thy hand Scattered upon our land, Have ne'er been seen ; Thy Word so full and free, Thy dower of land and sea, This gladsome Jubilee, Of England's Queen. When health and strength decay Be Thou, O Lord, her stay, God save the Queen ; Ever her people's friend, Be with her to the end. Till grace with glory blend, God save the Queen. Amen. I EXHORT therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men ; for kings, and for all that are in authority ; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all Godliness and honesty. 1 Tim. ii. 1, :^.

Amen. Second Collect. OGOD, who art the author of peace and lover of con- cord, in knowledge of whom standeth our eternal life, whose service is perfect freedom ; Defend us thy humble servants in all assaults of our enemies ; that we, surely trusting in thy defence, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. '■ '■ 13 Third Collect. OLORD, our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlast- ing 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 right- eous in thy sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ALMIGHTY GOD, we humbly offer unto Thy Divine Majesty our prayers and hearty thanksgivings for our gracious Sovereign Lady Queen Victoria, unto w^hom Thou hast accomplished full fifty years of sovereignty. We praise Thee that through Thy grace she hath kept the charge Thou gavest her in the day when Thou didst set the crown upon her head, bidding her " to do justice, stay the growth of iniquity, and protect the Holy Church of God ; to help and defend wndows and orphans ; to restore things gone to decay, maintain the things that are restored; punish and reform what is amiss, and confirm what is in good order; to keep the royal law and lively oracles of God." We bless Thee that Thou has heard, through sor- row and through joy, our prayer that she should always possess the hearts of the people. And we humbly pray Thee that for the years to come she may rejoice in Thy strength, and at the Resurrection of the just may enter into Thine immortal kingdom ; through Christ our Lord. Ameu. S. p. C.

ALMIGHTY GOD, who ilidst call Thy servant Victoria, our Queen, as at this time to the throne of her ances- tors in the governance of this realm ; we yield Thee humble thanks for the abundance of dominion wherewith Tiiou liast exalted and enlarged her empire, and for the love of her in which Thou hast knit together in one the hearts of many nations ; we praise Thee foi* the swift increase of know- ledge with power, for the spreading of truth and faith in her times, and gifts above all that we could ask or think. And humbly we beseech Thee that overmastering both sinful passion and selfish interest, and being protected from temptations and delivered from all evil, the unnum- bered peoples of her heritage may serve Thee, bearing one another's burdens and advancing continually in Thy perfect law of liberty ; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
