Heavenly Father

As each wends his way to vote

Let Your Holy will be done

Keep us focused on the task

And all detractors and enticers shun

Let there be calm I pray

Throughout this entire day

And however we may vote

Let’s accept it as the people’s say

For parties we may be divided

But for country let us be one

And give our support to whomever

Will rule at the coming dawn

Let everything be done in decency

And in the stipulated order

Let not stupidity or folly

Be seen within our border

May fairness and justice reign

Let there be no intimidation

To influence one way or another

As we vote across this nation

Give your journeying mercies

To the greatest and the least

And may every single constituency

Experience your Divine peace

We thank you for our country

And for Your gracious oversight

That whoever forms our Government

Will do what they know is right

Inspire them with a conscience

That is quickened by genuine love

And remind all and sundry

Blessings come only from above

Honour today this prayer

We pray in Your Son’s name

And to you we give all praise

For your sovereign and gracious reign
