Occasional Prayers

PRAYER ON COMING THROUGH A BATTLE UNHARMED

During this terrible day Thou hast been kind enough to protect me. I make haste to thank Thee, but I am thinking all the time of the many who have fallen, my officers and my comrades. May they receive from Thee all the rewards, the peace and the rest, that is reserved for brave men who did their best. Give their unhappy families, please, the consolation of believing in Thy kindness and love.

-From a French Soldiers Prayer Book.
