O God, the King of saints, we praise and glorify your holy Name for all your servants who have finished their course in your faith and fear: for the Ever-blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God; for the holy matriarchs, patriarchs, prophets, apostles, and martyrs; for Elizabeth, our Queen and for all your other righteous servants, known to us and unknown; and we pray that, encouraged by their examples, aided by their prayers, and strengthened by their fellowship, we also may be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; through the merits of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
God Save the King.
