Congratulations to Her Majesty The Queen
As we celebrate over this long weekend, The Diocese of Down and Dromore sends warm congratulations to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, upon the occasion of Her Diamond Jubilee.
The following Prayer, written at The Queen’s direction by the Chapter of St Paul’s Cathedral for Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee, will be used in the Jubilee Thanksgiving Service in St Paul’s Cathedral on Tuesday 5 June.
We encourage you to use it as part of your celebrations.
God of time and eternity,
whose Son reigns as servant, not master;
we give you thanks and praise
that you have blessed this Nation, the Realms and Territories
with ElizabEth
our beloved and glorious Queen.
In this year of Jubilee,
grant her your gifts of love and joy and peace
as she continues in faithful obedience to you, her Lord and God
and in devoted service to her lands and peoples,
and those of the Commonwealth,
now and all the days of her life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
