US Air Force Lord, guard and guide the men who fly Through the great spaces of the sky; Be with them traversing the air In darkening storms or sunshine fair Thou who dost keep with tender might The balanced birds in all their flight Thou of the tempered winds be near That, having thee, they know no fear Control their minds with instinct fit What time, adventuring, they quit The firm security of land; Grant steadfast eye and skilful hand Aloft in solitudes of space, Uphold them with Thy saving grace. O God, protect the men who fly Thru lonely ways beneath the sky.
