Lord, Guard and Guide the Men Who Fly
Author: Mary C. D. Hamilton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3691 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Lord, guide and guide the men who fly Lyrics: 1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Control their minds with instinct fit
What time, adventuring, they quit
The firm security of land;
Grant steadfast eye and skillful hand.
4. Aloft in solitudes of space,
Uphold them with Thy saving grace.
O God, protect the men who fly
Through lonely ways beneath the sky. Languages: English Tune Title: HESPERUS

Mary C. D. Hamilton
Author of "Lord, guard and guide the men who fly" in Twenty-Five Hymns for use in Time of War Lyrics of “Lord, Guard and Guide,” also known as the“United States Air Force Hymn.” The text is derived from a prayer by poet Mary C.D. Hamilton. She also used the same text in “A Hymn for Aviators,” a musical setting by English composer C.H.H. Parry. Hamilton wrote her prayer in 1915 during World War I with the transcript first appearing in the “American Student Hymnal” of 1928 set to Mozart’s “Dona Nobis Pacem.” Years later during World War II, the initial verseof the prayer was adapted for use in “The Navy Hymn” as a tribute to naval aviators.
