Lord, enthroned in heavenly splendour: Look with favour upon thy servant Charles our King, and bestow upon him such gifts of wisdom and love that we and all thy people may live in peace and prosperity and in loving service one to another;
giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: During the anthem, the Archbishop of Canterbury anoints the King in the form of a cross: on the palm of both hands, saying:Be your breast anointed with holy oil.Be your head anointed with holy oil, as kings, priests, and prophets were anointed. And as Solomon was anointed king
The Byzantine Chant Ensemble sings Psalm 72. This moment has been specially commissioned to reflect His Majesty's paternal heritage. Hear our prayers, O Lord, we beseech thee, and so direct and support thy servant King Charles, that he may not bear the Sword in vain; but may use it as the minister of God to resist evil and defend the good, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.Receive this kingly Sword: may it be to you, and to all who witness these things, a sign and symbol not of judgement, but of justice; not of might, but of mercy.
Receive the bracelets of sincerity and wisdom, tokens of God's protection embracing you on every side. Receive this ring, a symbol of kingly dignity, and a sign of the covenant sworn this day, between God and King, King and people.
