O Almighty Lord God, who neither slumberest nor sleepest; Protect
and assist, we beseech thee, all those who at home or abroad, by
land, by sea, or in the air, are serving this country, that they,
being armed with thy defence, may be preserved evermore in all
perils; and being filled with wisdom and girded with strength, may
do their duty to thy honour and glory; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. _Amen._
