From homes of qui­et peace
We lift up hands of pray­er,
And those Thou gav­est us to love
Commend, Lord, to Thy care.

In per­ils of the sea
Watch o’er them day by day;
In per­ils of the com­mon life
Be Thou their strength and stay.

Let Thine al­migh­ty arm
Be their de­fense and shield;
And who­so­ev­er’s cause is Thine
To them the vic­to­ry yield.
