A Sailor's Prayer
Author Unknown
Dear God, watch over her for me
That she may safely guarded be
Help her each lonely hour to bear
As I would Lord, if I were there.
When she is sleeping watch her then
That fear may not her dream offend
Be ever near her through the day
Let none but goodness come her way.
Sweet faithful girl who waits for me
Beyond the wide and spacious sea
Be merciful, O God, I Pray
Take care of her while I am away.
