from his
posterity
so
long
as
the moon
endureth
;
as his
dominions are
extended
from sea
to sea,
so
let
him have
a
spreading influence
from
the rivers
of Great
Britain unto
the ends
of
the
earth
:
let
those
that
dwell in
distant
lands, bow
before
him,
and let
his
enemies liék the
dust;
let
him live
and reign
a
length
of
years,
and
all
due
tri-
bute
be
given him
;
let prayer
be
made for
him
continu-
ally,
and
may he
be
ever
engaged
in
works
of
blessing
to
the
world,
that
he may receive daily
and perpetual
praises.
And as
the
Spirit
of God eminently
designed Solomon
in
this Psalm,
as
a type
of
Christ,
so
let
ús
pray
that our
sovereign may
imitate
ours
blessed
Jesus
in
all divine
virtues,
and in the sacred qualifications
of a ruler;
that
his
throne
may
be
surrounded
with
wisdom
and
esta-
blished in
justice
:
" In
his
majesty
let
him
ride prosper-
ously with
truth,
meekness and righteousness
attending
him ;"
Ps.
xlv.
4.
may every
princely virtue
and
grace
dwell
in
his
heart
and shine
through
all
his
actions.
May
his
authority
and
his
royal example
join
together
to
work
wonders
ofreformation
among the higher
and the
lower
ranks of
mankind:
And may probity
of
manners
be
always
a necessary step
of
access to
the
king's
favour.
O
may he
be wise
as
an
angel
of
God,
to
discern
be-
tween
good
and
evil,
between
his
sincere
friends and
fawning
flatterers
!
Grant,
O Lord,
that
he may
daily
increase in
sagacity and happy
penetration
to
discover
the
true
interest
of
the land, and
be
ever steady and
re-
solute
in
the
pursuit of
it.
Let
him see his
own
interest
inseparably
connected
with
the
interest of
his
people,
and
pursue them
together
with glorious success.
May the
protestant powers
abroad
acknowledge him
as
their
com-
mon
father,
and their superior
friend
;
and
may
even
the
distant posterity
of
our
nation
join
with
the generations
to come
in foreign
lands
in
paying
honour
to his
memo-
ry,
as
the
chief
support of
religion
and liberty
in this
lower world.
And since
God
bath blessed
us
with a
queen consort,
let her also have a
large share
in
our
best
wishes
and
Our
pious
addresses to heaven.
Long
may she live a
transcen-
dent
blessing
to the
nation and
the world
and
fulfil
with
honour all
the
promising prospects that
her sublime cha-
racter and
virtue
in
a
less
exalted station
have given us.
