O God of ineffable mercy, who
gave grace and fortitude to blessed Edmund the king to triumph over the enemy
of his people by nobly dying for your Name: Bestow on us your servants the
shield of faith, with which we can withstand the assaults of our ancient enemy;
through Jesus Christ our Redeemer, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
1 O Lord, in your strength the king
rejoices,
and in your salvation how greatly he
exults!
2 You have given him his heart's
desire
and have not withheld the request of his
lips.
3 For you meet him with rich
blessings;
you set a crown of fine gold upon his head.
4 He asked life of you; you gave
it to him,
length of days forever and ever.
5 His glory is great through your
salvation;
splendor and majesty you bestow on him.
6 For you make him most blessed
forever;
you make him glad with the joy of your
presence.
7 For the king trusts in the
Lord,
and through the steadfast love of the Most
High he shall not be moved.
