O God Creator, in Whose Hand

O God Cre­at­or

in whose hand

The roll­ing plan­ets lie

Give skill to those who now com­mand

The ships that brave the sky.

Strong Spir­it

burn­ing with man­kind

On mis­sions high to dare

Safe pi­lot all who seek to find

Their hav­en thro’ the air.

Calm Christ

cour­age­ous in Thy quest

Whose light led men afar

Illume their path­ways with Thy blest

And peace­ful na­tal star.

Enfolding Life

bear on Thy wing

Thro’ storm and dark and sun

The men in air who clos­er bring

The na­tions in­to one.
