When I am called to serve, Dear Lord,

Wherever war may be,

Give me courage to fight the battles,

My country may ask of me.

Grace me with your presence,

And know that I love you,

While I fight the enemy,

My country needs me to.

Help me protect my comrades,

As you expect me to,

And keep me in your loving hands,

While I do what I must do.

I want to do my duty,

And to give the best in me,

To do what I have been called to do,

And protect our liberty.

And if, according to your will,

I must give up my life,

Please bless with your protecting hand,

My children and my wife.
