Almighty ruler of the all
Whose power extends to great and small,
Who guides the stars with steadfast law,
Whose least creation fills with awe—
Oh grant Thy mercy and Thy grace
To those who venture into space.


— Robert A. Heinlein (1947)

The Space Force should enshrine that added verse.

I remember when I was a kid and for some reason watched TV until after The Late Late Show. When the station ended it’s broadcasting day it would do a beautiful Navy Choir acapella rendition of the Sailor’s Prayer Hymn (unsure if that is the name) that verse would belong to.

Amen!

Almighty ruler of the all
Whose power extends to great and small,
Who guides the stars with steadfast law,
Whose least creation fills with awe—
Oh grant Thy mercy and Thy grace
To those who venture into space.

— Robert A. Heinlein (1947)
