“ The sun, that bids us rest, is waking Our brethren 'neath the western sky, And hour by hour fresh lips are making Thy wondrous doings heard on high. So be it, Lord! Thy throne shall never, Like earth's proud empires, pass away ”

“ Turn Thou for us its darkness into light; From harm and danger keep Thy children free, For dark and light are both alike to Thee. Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life, Our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife; Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease, Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal peace.Amen. ”
John Ellerton, Hymns for the Coronation of His Majesty King Edward VII… (1902)
“ The Note C, as well as E, is to be sung by the children, in the last chord. 1English childrenpeople, lift your voices To our Father's Throne on high! Many a land to-day rejoices, Many a coast prolongs the cry— God save the King! ”
