A SOLDIER'S PRAYER

Almighty God,
Help me remain true to my ideals
During my service to my country.
Help me to be what is best in Canada,
A vast and wonderful land.
May I realize that I represent
What our country stands for.
My uniform is a symbol of duty and
Valour both in peace and in war.
I take up arms to defend what all
Canadians hold dear: life, dignity, and respect.
Grant me the strength to live
According to the courage of my
Convictions and the resolve to
Endure whatever dangers threaten.
With you at my side I fear no evil.
I resist every enemy secure in the
Knowledge that you hold me safe in the
Palm of your hand.


Amen
