The Naval Prayer

0 eternal Lord God, who alone spreadest out of 
the heavens, and rulest the raging of the sea; 
who has compassed the waters with bounds 
until day and night come to an end; be pleased 
to receive into thy almighty and most gracious 
protection the persons of us thy servants and 
the fleet in which we serve. Preserve us from 
the dangers of the sea, and from the violence of 
the enemy; that we may be a safeguard unto our 
most gracious sovereign lady. Queen Elizabeth 
and her dominions, and security for such as 
pass on the seas upon their lawful occasion; that 
the inhabitants of our commonwealth may in 
peace and quietness serve thee our God; and 
that we may return in safety to enjoy the 
blessings of the land, with the fruits of our 
labours, and with a thankful remembrance of 
thy mercies to praise and glorify thy holy name; 
through Jesus Christ our lord.

Amen
