Reflections and Prayers for Wartime
CHAPTER XII
Occasional Prayers
PRAYER FOR PEACE
O Lord Jesus Christ, Who in Thy mercy hearest the prayers of sinners, pour forth, we beseech Thee, all grace and blessing upon our country and its citizens.
We pray in particular for the President - for our Congress - for all our soldiers - for all who defend us in ships, whether on the seas or in the skies - for all who are suffering the hardships of war.
We pray for all who are in peril or ih danger. Bring us all after the troubles of this life into the haven of peace, and reunite us all together for ever, O dear Lord, in Thy glorious heavenly kingdom.
