Queen Elizabeth

The orb and sceptre, ring and crown each with its cross adorned, displayed the rule of Christ alone to mark your fealty sworn. But stripped to simple linen gown and hidden from this globe, for power to serve your earthly throne the oil of heaven flowed. You sought to serve Him set apart not bound by duty on your own, but strengthened firm and from His heart to bear your heavy crown. We shall not see your like again defender of the faith, who served your God through every strain and subjects here beneath. God helped you keep your solemn vow, God saved our gracious queen. God keep you in our hearts as now, and after you have been.
