Show The Airman's Prayer (A poem written by Sergeant Hugh Brodie of the Royal Australian air force, has been widely acclaimed. Sergeant Ser-geant Brodie has been posted "missing in action") Almighty and all-present Power, Short is the prayer I make to Thee. I do not ask in battle hour For any shield to cover me. The vast unalterable way. From which the stars do not depart, de-part, May not be turned aside to stay The bullets flying to my heart I ask no help to strike my foe, I seek no petty victory here. The enemy I hate, I know. To Thee is also dear. But this I pray: Be at my side When death is drawing through the sky; Almighty God Who also died. Teach me the way that I should die. |
