Almighty God, the fountain of all goodness,

bless our Sovereign Lord, King Charles,

and all who are in authority under him;

that they may order all things

in wisdom and equity, righteousness and peace,

to the honour of your name,

and the good of your Church and people;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

And please, where possible, ring out the church bells at 12noon on May 6 in celebration of the coronation.
