It occurs to me that the quotation I planned for today applies to Queen Elizabeth:
“Praise to the Lord,
who doth prosper thy work,
and defend thee.
Surely God’s goodness and mercy
here daily attend thee.”
Joachim Neander, 1680
Trans. by Catherine Winkworth, 1863
O Lord, may your goodness and mercy here daily attend us all. Prosper our work, in Jesus’ name.
