Tune: Gonfalon Royal
(\'The royal banners forward go\')
Psalm 21 v.1-7
**********
Blessed people of platinum year
Of seventy years past and dear
Elizabeth your servant reigns
Christ-like her life with no unfeigns
The Queen shall joy in your strength, Lord
Rejoice in your salvation, word
You have, Lord, given her what she
Desired in heart, and heard each plea
For you meet her with the blessings
Of goodness, each her honour brings
You set crown of gold on her head
Faithful the peoples she has led
She asked life of you, and you gave
Her life, and salvation to save
Even length of days for ever
Her witness to you fades never
Her glory is great in your deeds
In your salvation, it she heeds
Honour and majesty have you
Laid on her, as King David true
For she trusts in you as did he
Of old. now so these days does she
Through the mercy of the most High
She be not moved, knows you are nigh
