HAVE A BLESSED MEMORIAL DAY...

The US Coast Guard Hymn is sung to the same tune as the Navy hymn posted below...and check out the ARMY Hymn -posted Saturday...I love them all - and -I love our BEST and our fallen BEST!!...

THE COAST GUARD HYMN

Eternal Father, Lord of Hosts

Watch o'er the ones who guard our coasts

Protect them from the raging seas

And give them light and life and peace.

Grant them from thy great throne above

The shield and shelter of thy love.

Lord, guard and guide the ones who fly

Through the great spaces in the sky

Be with them always in the air,

In darken storms or sunlight fair,

Oh, hear us when we lift our prayer,

For those in peril in the air!

Grant to them Your eternal peace, Oh Lord,

For they have followed your commandment,

That No Greater Love has he, who would give up his life for another.

Amen

Have a blessed Memorial Day, back.

God bless the fallen and may we prove worthy as a nation of their sacrifice!
