“Domine Salvum Fac”. The Prayer To Be Sung At The Main Mass On Sundays For King Charles III.

Text and Illustrations are from The Society of St. Bede,
which can be found HERE

Prayer for the King, “Pro Rege in Solemnitátibus” from a Jacobite Manuscript of circa 1740.

From an article on the hymn “Adeste Fideles”, on the excellent Hymnology archive, we find that John Francis Wade (Johannes Franciscus Wade, 1710 – 1786) also wrote a “Domine Salvum Fac”.

This has been scanned from a Jacobite manuscript, and was reproduced in Dom John Stephan, “Adeste Fideles” (1947).

This has the “Gloria Patri” that is no longer part of our modern Prayer for the King.

We have produced a modern edition that can be sung for the present King Charles III.

Other settings can be found here and here.
