God Bless Our Troops
Sung to the tune of Abide With Me, this hymn is adapted from a version that was written by E. Sparrow of Cardiff, England, and used during World War II.
God bless our troops, in air, on land, and sea.
Full well we know how dear they are to Thee.
Where’er they go, whatever they may dare
God, ever keep them in Thy gracious care.
God bless our troops, by night as well by day,
For we, at home, for them will ever pray
That war and strife and enmity may cease,
And Thou will send us everlasting peace.
God bless our troops, oh, keep them ever near!
Make strong their faith, and drive out all their fear.
Give them a vision of Thine eternal love.
That nothing in this world can ever move.
God guard our troops, and though just now they roam,
Grant us our prayers, and bring them safely home.
God bless our foes and cause their eyes to see
That peace alone can only come from Thee.
For the Church
Merciful Lord, grant to Your Church singleness of purpose, that throughout this crisis all we do and say will point to Your dear Son and the forgiveness He has won for all people. Support all of us in our various callings to witness to Your love in Christ, so that the sorrowing and fearful may know where to turn for true comfort and hope. Bless and protect the aid workers dispatched by our Synod, including the chaplains and others who are working directly with our soldiers or serving humanitarian needs, and grant them diligence in the performance of their duties; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
