As we welcome our new Governor General, please remember to pray for Her Majesty The Queen; His Excellence The Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General; the family of the Governor General; all who served previously as Governor General and their families; and all those entrusted with government in this country.
Almighty God, you have given us this good land as our heritage.
May we prove ourselves a people mindful of your generosity and glad to do your will.
Bless our land with honest industry, truthful education, and an honourable way of life.
Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance;
and from every evil course of action.
Make us who came from many nations with many different languages a united people.
Defend our liberties and give those whom we have entrusted with the authority of government
the spirit of wisdom, that there may be justice and peace in our land.
When times are prosperous, let our hearts be thankful;
and, in troubled times, do not let our trust in you fail.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
