Birthday Ode for Queen Anne :
ETERNAL SOURCE OF LIGHT DIVINE

1     Eternal source of light divine
2     The day that gave great Anna birth
3     Let all the winged race with joy
4     Let flocks and herds their fears forget
5     Let rolling streams their gladness show
6     Kind Health descends
7     The day that gave great Anna birth
8     Let envy then conceal her head
9     United nations shall combine

'QUEEN CAROLINE' TE DEUM IN D MAJOR

10   We praise thee O God
11   The glorious company of the Apostles praise thee
12   When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man
13   Day by day we magnify thee
14   Vouchsafe, O Lord , to keep us this day
15   O Lord, in thee have I trusted

21   And let all the people say: Amen
