Lest We Forget


A prayer said at the Task Force Frigate Service after the loss of the Sheffield

(Composed by a sailor in the Task Force)

Though the mysteries of life and death are hidden from us Lord, do not forsake, we pray, those who grieve for their dead.

In these dark hours grant them comfort, faith, hope, and strengthen them in their belief that their loss will not be in vain.

Visit those who are injured, relieve their suffering, and bring them recovery that they may witness thy mercy.

Hear also the prayers of those families who wait.

Aid them in their hour of fear, and safeguard those dear to them.

Hear our prayers and help us to do our duty and thy will, confident in the love and saving grace of Our Lord, Jesus Christ
