A RIFLEMAN'S PRAYER
Dear GOD, my Father, through Thy Son
hear the prayer of a warrior son
give my eyes a vision keen
to see the thing that must be seen.
A steady hand I ask of Thee.
The feel of wind on land or sea
let me not ever care-less be
of life or limb or liberty.
For justice sake a quiet heart
and grace and strength to do my part.
To GOD and Country, Home and Corps.
Let me be faithful evermore.
Amen
