A prayer of thanksgiving

 

Eternal God, our heavenly Father, we bless your holy name for all that you have

given us in and through the life of Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

 

We give you thanks:

 for his long and full life;

 for his strength of character;

 and for his devotion and service to family, nation and Commonwealth.

 

We praise you for:

 his generosity;

 the many contributions he made to our national life;

 and the encouragement he gave to so many,

 especially to the young.

 

Rest eternal grant onto him, O Lord,

and let light perpetual shine upon him.

 

May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
