Description[?]:
| This should be our armys anthem. Lord, guard and guide the men who fly Through the great spaces in the sky. Be with them always in the air, In darkening storms or sunlight fair; Oh, hear us when we lift our prayer, For those in peril in the air! Aloft in solitudes of space, Uphold them with Thy saving grace. Thou Who supports with tender might The balanced birds in all their flight. Lord, if the tempered winds be near, That, having Thee, they know no fear. Eternal Father, grant, we pray, To all Marines, both night and day, The courage, honor, strength, and skill Their land to serve, thy law fulfill Be thou the shield forevermore From every peril to the Corps. Lord, stand beside the men who build, And give them courage, strength, and skill. O grant them peace of heart and mind, And comfort loved ones left behind. Lord, hear our prayers for all Seabees, Where'er they be on land or sea. Lord, stand beside the men who sail Our merchant ships in storm and gale In peace and war their watch they keep On every sea, on thy vast deep. Be with them Lord, by night and day For Merchant Mariners we pray. Eternal Father, Lord of hosts, Watch o'er the men who guard our coasts. Protect them from the raging seas And give them light and life and peace. Grant them from thy great throne above The shield and shelter of thy love. Lord God, our power evermore, Whose arm doth reach the ocean floor, Dive with our men beneath the sea; Traverse the depths protectively. O hear us when we pray, and keep Them safe from peril in the deep. O God, protect the women who, In service, faith in thee renew; O guide devoted hands of skill And bless their work within thy will; Inspire their lives that they may be Examples fair on land and sea. Creator, Father, who dost show Thy splendor in the ice and snow, Bless those who toil in summer light And through the cold antarctic night, As they thy frozen wonders learn; Bless those who wait for their return. Almighty ruler of the all Whose power extends to great and small, Who guides the stars with steadfast law, Whose least creation fills with awe Oh grant Thy mercy and Thy grace To those who venture into space. Eternal Father, King of Birth, Who didst create the Heaven and Earth, And bid the planets and the Sun Their own appointed orbits run; O hear us when we seek Thy grace For those who soar through outer space. Creator, Father, Who first breathed In us the life that we received, By power of Thy breath restore The ill, and men with wounds of war. Bless those who give their healing care, That life and laughter all may share. God, Who dost still the restless foam, Protect the ones we love at home. Provide that they should always be By Thine own grace both safe and free. O Father, hear us when we pray For those we love so far away. Lord, guard and guide the men who fly And those who on the ocean ply; Be with our troops upon the land, And all who for their country stand: Be with these guardians day and night And may their trust be in Thy might. |

| Message | The DSP does not see why the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force or Coast Guard need an anthem. An official song for each one, created by them, and having no real use except for in official and presentational uses would be acceptable, but we believe that they should be secular and have to do with the promotion of freedom, democracy and justice, as those are what the military is supposed to fight for. |
