“‘So be it Lord; Thy throne shall never,
Like earth’s proud empires, pass away;
Thy kingdom stands, and grows forever,
Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway.’
To her very great credit, Queen Victoria, Empress of India, asked for this hymn to be sung at her Diamond Jubilee.” ~ Norman Davies, Vanished Kingdoms: The Rise and Fall of States and Nations (Viking Press, 2011), 3.
