The text of the earlier 'Great Lord of Lords' (which can be substituted without too many underlay problems) is as follows:
Great King of Gods, whose gracious hand hath led
Our sacred sovereign head
Unto the place where first our bliss was bred:
O send thine angels to his blessed side,
And bid them there abide,
To be at once his guardian and his guide.
Dear be his life, all glorious be his days,
And prospering all his ways.
Late add thy last crown to his peace and praise,
And when he hath outlived the world’s long date,
Let thy last change translate
His living flesh to thy celestial state.
Amen.
