Majestic Marriage

Tune: St Fulbert

(\'Ye choirs of new Jerusalem\')

Psalm 21 v.1-7

********

The Queen, she shall joy in your strength

O Lord, grant her at length

Your blessings still, prosperity

[And] All royal family

 

In your salvation lord shall she

Greatly rejoice, here see

You have given sure unto her

Her heart\'s desires secure

 

You heard her prayers, did not withhold

Them, kept her in your fold

Before her you went and did bless

With goodness, we confess

 

You set upon her head a crown

On evil does she frown

Asking you to bless in Anthem

National, you do bless them

 

E\'en length of days, prosperity

Her glory great shall be 

In your salvation, and shown free

Honour and majesty

 

For you have here made her most blest

Grant her your peace and rest

Shine evermore your countenance

On her, may she you sense

 

For she does trust in you, the Lord

Seeks to live by your word

Through your mercy, most High, may she

Never be moved, so be

 

Grant wisdom to all ministers

That serve her, may hearts stir

That your kingdom come, will be done

Through Christ\'s power, your Son

 

Rejoicing, platinum marriage

Years of grace, privilege

Seventy full years, true, unfeign[ed]

Faithful her glorious reign
