A PRAYER FOR FRIENDS

A PRAYER FOR OUR FRIENDS

O, Omnipotent Architect Of The Universe,
We bring our humble friends to thee;
Be with them on the stormy deep,
Be with them in the silent hour.
By land or sea , awake or asleep,
Be their Helper, Strength and Tower.


Maintain them, O God of Power,
Through their earthly strife;
Each holding forth the Word of Life,
Be their Light to brighten future days,
Let then not falter nor fail,
Through their rocky paths uneven...


Stand up, Brethren- speak with cheerful voice,
We bid you fight for a blessed dawn;
Where be no room for despair.
And all hopes will be leaven;
Go-- win the country of your choice
Of Truth and Liberty and Heaven,

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
