¶ Or this:
O God, who didst bestow upon thy Blessed King Edward the crown of everlasting glory : grant us, we pray thee; so to venerate him on earth, that we may be found worthy to reign with him in heaven; through Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
¶ Or this:
O God, who didst call Saint Edward the confessor from the tottering eminence of an earthly realm, to rest in the secure glory of thy heavenly kingdom: Keep us safe along the road upon which he went, and bring us also unscathed before the throne of the King of kings, Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord. Amen.
