O eternal Lord God, who alone spreadest out the heavens, and rulest
the raging of the sea; Vouchsafe to take into thy almighty and most
gracious protection our country’s Navy, and all who serve therein.
Preserve them from the dangers of the sea, and from the violence of
the enemy; that they may be a safeguard unto the United States of
America, and a security for such as pass on the seas upon their
lawful occasions; that the inhabitants of our land may in peace and
quietness serve thee our God, to the glory of thy Name; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen._
