War Memorial Prayer:
Almighty God: humbly we bow our heads and kneel before Thee
to render thanks for Thy mercy and loving-kindness, and for the safe return of
those who fought on land, on sea, and in the air to guard our liberties.
Vouchsafe Thy spirit to be the companion and strength of those broken in mind
or wounded in body. Grant to us to care for them in gratitude and love that
they may live midst security and merited honour. Hold close in Thy safe-keeping
we beseech Thee the souls of those whose sacrifice was supreme: lighten the
sorrow of those who mourn with the presence of Him who gave his life that all
might live. Grant understanding to the people of all nations that thy kingdom
of peace be forever established on earth through the mediation of thy Son,
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
