FORMS OF PRAYER
TO BE
USED AT SEA
_The Morning and Evening Service to be used daily at Sea shall be
the same which is appointed in the Book of Common Prayer_.
_These two following Prayers are to be also used in his Majesty's
Navy every day_.
O eternal Lord God, who alone spreadest out the heavens, and
rulest the raging of the sea; who hast compassed the waters with
bounds until day and night come to an end: Be pleased to receive

mercies to praise and glorify thy holy Name; through Jesus Christ
our Lord. _Amen_.

Name, and finally by thy mercy obtain everlasting life; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.

blow, and lift up the waves of the sea, and who stillest the rage
thereof: We thy creatures, but miserable sinners, do in this our
great distress cry unto thee for help: Save, Lord, or else we
perish. We confess, when we have been safe, and seen all things
quiet about us, we have forgot thee our God, and refused to hearken
to the still voice of thy word, and to obey thy commandments: But
now we see how terrible thou art in all thy works of wonder; the
great God to be feared above all: And therefore we adore thy Divine
Majesty, acknowledging thy power, and imploring thy goodness. Help,
