Archbishop: O God, the crown of the faithful: Bless we beseech thee and sanctify this thy servant our King: and as thou dost this day set a Crown of pure gold upon his head, so enrich his royal heart with thine abundant grace, and crown him with all
princely virtues, through the King eternal Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Congregation: God save the King!
Archbishop: God crown you with a crown of glory and righteousness, that by the ministry of this our benediction, having a right faith and manifold fruit of good works, you may obtain the crown of an everlasting kingdom by the gift of him whose kingdom endureth for ever. Amen.
- The Anointing and Blessing
Archbishop: Be thy Hands anointed with holy Oil. Be thy Breast anointed with holy Oil. Be thy Head anointed with holy Oil, as kings, priests, and prophets were anointed:
And as Solomon was anointed king by Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet, so be you anointed, blessed, and consecrated King over the Peoples, whom the Lord your God hath given you to rule and govern, In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who by his Father was anointed
with the Oil of gladness above his fellows, by his holy Anointing pour down upon
your Head and Heart the blessing of the Holy Ghost, and prosper the works of
your Hands: that by the assistance of his heavenly grace you may preserve the people
- The Blessing of the King and People
Archbishop: The Lord bless you and keep you: and as he hath made you King over his people, so may he prosper you in this world, and make you partake of his eternal felicity in the world to come. Amen.
The Lord give you fruitful lands and healthful seasons; victorious fleets and armies, and a quiet Empire; a faithful Senate, wise and upright counsellors and magistrates, a loyal nobility, and a dutiful gentry; a pious and learned and useful clergy; an honest, peaceable, and obedient commonalty. Amen.
And the same Lord God Almighty grant, that the Clergy and Nobles assembled here for this great and solemn service, and together with them all the people of the land, fearing God, and honouring the King, may by the merciful superintendency of the divine Providence, and the vigilant care of our gracious Sovereign, continually enjoy peace, plenty, and prosperity; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with the eternal Father, and God the Holy Ghost, be glory in the Church, world without end. Amen.
