O God, the fountain of all goodness, we yield thee humble and hearty thanks for thy servant Queen Elizabeth II, for the grace that sustained her in a long life of duty, for the example of her Christian witness, for her compassion towards those in need, and for the fortitude with which she fulfilled her calling. Grant, we beseech thee, that, keeping in thankful remembrance the centenary of her birth, we may follow her good example in faithfulness and service, and, with thy saints, be brought at the last to thine eternal kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
