"O Lord, Make Thy Servant Charles" William Byrd | The Sixteen (Harry Christophers)

Classic FM has joined with world-renowned choral ensemble The Sixteen to present a very special premiere, and a piece of music that perfectly matches our time in history: ‘O Lord, Make Thy Servant Charles’. The Sixteen has made a special recording of William Byrd’s coronation anthem 'O Lord, Make Thy Servant (Elizabeth)'.
To mark the Coronation of His Majesty, King Charles III, The Sixteen have adapted Byrd's anthem to feature the new lyrics 'O Lord, Make Thy Servant Charles'. The anthem, composed around 1570, was originally written to celebrate the reign of Queen Elizabeth I and will now be heard in a version commemorating the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III.
Here are the lyrics to 'O Lord, Make Thy Servant Charles:

O Lord, make thy servant Charles to rejoice in thy strength:
give him his heart's desire, and deny not the request of his lips;
but prevent him with thine everlasting blessing,
and give him a long life, even for ever and ever. Amen.
