To the name that brings salvation
Let the nations bow the head;
Let them kneel in adoration
When this name of names is said;
Let them pray for restoration
Of all things in Christ the head.

He through every generation
Rules in endless majesty;
May the kings of every nation
Now foreswear their enmity
And with humble veneration
In the love of God agree.

Lord we pray for upright rulers:
Guard them surely in their need
From the vanity of power
And the emptiness of greed;
Let them see the truth of lowness
And on justice let them feed.
