Prayer for the Navy

Eternal Lord God, you along spread

out the heavens and rule the raging sea.

Take into your most gracious protection

our country's Navy and all those who serve therein.

Preserve them from the dangers of the seas and from

the violence of the enemy, thay they may be

a safeguard unto the United State of America,

and a security for such as sail upon the seas

in peaceful and lawful missions.

In serving you, O Lord, may our sailors

serve their country; through

Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.
