right and following what is true, they may obey Thy holy will, and fulfill Thy divine purpose: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Let us pray for the soldiers our King and his Allies.
O ALMIGHTY LORD GOD the Father and protector of all that trust in Thee: we command to thy fatherly goodness the men who through perils of war are serving this nation: beseeching thee to take into thine own hand both them and the cause wherein their King and country send them. Be thou their strength when they are set in the midst of so many and great dangers. Make all bold through death or life to put their trust in thee, who art the only giver of victory and canst save by many or by few through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Let us pray for the sailors of the Allied fleets.
O THOU that slumberest not nor sleepest, protect we pray thee, our sailors from the hidden perils of the sea, from the snares and assaults of the enemy. In the anxious hours of waiting steady and support those on whom the burdens of responsibility lie heavily; and grant that in dangers often, in watchings often, in weariness often, they may serve Thee with a quiet mind: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Let us pray for the airmen and all who are called to positions of
special peril.
LOOK in mercy we beseech thee O Lord on those who are called to tasks of special peril on land, in the air or beneath the sea. Even there also Thethy hand lead them. Help them to do their duty with prudence and with fearlessness, confident that in life or in death the Eternal God is their refuge, and underneath are the Everlasting Arms. Grant this for Jesus Christ's sake thy Son our Lord. Amen.
Let us pray for the sick and wounded and all who minister to
them.
ALMIGHTY GOD, who dost look down in fatherly love upon all who suffer We beseech thee to hear our
3
humble prayers for the wounded and the sick: give to each one of them Thy help, in spirit, and in body, according to his need: sanctify him: cheer him and if it be Thy will restore him: and in thy redeeming love have mercy on the fallen. All this we ask through the mediation of thy Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O MERCIFUL GOD, whose blessed Son went about doing good: Uphold with thy strength and grace those who do service to the wounded and the sick: grant to the ministers of thy Gospel faithfulness and love, to the physicians and surgeons wisdom and skill, to the nurses sympathy and patience; and we beseech thee to protect and bless them in all dangers anxieties and labours; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Let us pray for the dying.
O THOU who didst cry out with a loud voice and after that didst yield up the Ghost. Have mercy on all dying souls. Regard not, we beseech thee, their many sins, but save those who loved not their lives unto death. Amets,
Let us remember before God all our soldiers and sailors deparied
this life in the faith and fear of God.
Answer.
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.
Even so saith the Spirit for they rest from their
labours.
WE give thee hearty thanks most merciful Father, for the devoted lives and faithful deaths of our brethren slain on our behalf in this war beseeching thine infinite goodness to give us grace to live in thy fear and love, and to die in thy favour that when the judgment shall come, which thou hast committed to thy well-beloved Son, both these our brothers and we may be found acceptable in thy sight: through Jesus Christ our only Saviour, Mediator, and Advocate. Amen.
