**********

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
