Hymn for Airmen
(By M.C.D.H. m the London "Times. Lord, guard and guide the men who fly Through the great spaces of the sky, Be with them traversing the air, In darkening storm or sunshine fair. Thou who dost keep with tender might The balanced birds m all their flight, Thou of the tempered wirids be near, That, having Thee, they know no fear.
Set to Music by Sir Hubert Parry.) Control their minds, with instinct fit What time, adventuring, they quit The firm security of land : Grant steadfast eye and skilful hand. Aloft m solitudes of space Uphold them with Thy saving Grace, Oh, God protect the men who fly Through lonely ways beneath the sky.
