Then falling on her knees to pray,
She told the Lord her fears and cares,
And sought from Him strength for her day.
He seemed to say, "Child, do not fear;
I will uphold thee with my hand,
And I will make thy pathway clear,
Thy throne establish in the land."
'Twas thus began Victoria's reign,
And God has made her throne secure;
Her enemies will plot in vain,
