Combined Operations Prayer
O LORD GOD,
our Father, our Saviour, our Might,
we pray Thee take into Thy keeping us who are joined together in a
trinity of arms on sea, on land, and in the air in this our special
service for King and Country.
We pledge
ourselves to do, to dare, to die that others might live, believing in
Him who said; "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down
his life for his friends."
Grant us
faith, courage, and determination that we fail not in whatever duty may
lie before us, and may we be enabled by Thy Divine Grace to bear our
part in establishing peace on earth and goodwill amongst men.
This we ask
for Jesus Christ, His sake.
Amen
