The following songs are the official hymns of their respective branches of the military. The words will stir your heart whether they’re read or sung, and are particularly moving as you consider the great sacrifices being made by our Troops every day. Use these words as a prayer of protection and mercy for the brave men and women who serve in our military.
Eternal Father, Strong to Save
Hymn of the United States Navy
Eternal Father, Strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bid’st the mighty Ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
O hear us when we cry to thee,
for those in peril on the sea.
O trinity of love and power
Our brethren shield in danger’s hour.
From rock and tempest, fire and foe
Protect them wheresoe’er they go:
O hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea.
God of Our Fathers
The United States Army Hymn
God of our fathers, whose almighty hand
Leads forth in beauty all the starry band
Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies
Our grateful songs before Thy throne arise.
Thy love divine hath led us in the past,
In this free land by Thee our lot is cast,
Be Thou our Ruler, Guardian, Guide and Stay,
Thy Word our law, Thy paths our chosen way.
Refresh Thy people on their toilsome way,
Lead us from night to never ending day;
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine,
And glory, laud, and praise be ever Thine.
