BIDDING PRAYERS FOR HER LATE MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II
In gratitude, as we bid farewell to a greatly-loved Queen, we give thanks to Almighty God:
For her grace, humanity and sympathy;
for her courage in adversity;
for the joy she brought to so many throughout the world;
for her steadfast faith;
for her example of service;
and for the duty which she rendered devotedly to her country and the Commonwealth.
As we commend Elizabeth, his servant, to God’s loving mercy,
we pray too for her family in their grief and loss.
O Father of all, we pray to you for those whom we love, but see no longer. Grant them your peace; let light perpetual shine upon them; and in your loving wisdom and almighty power work in them the good purpose of your perfect will; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
