A Prayer for those who face the perils of the sea

Individual children, or groups of children, might say one of these phrases or provide a suitable phrase of their own:

We pray especially today for all those who work at sea:
For those who fish the waters of the deep;
For the crews of submarines and other naval vessels;
For those who staff the oil rigs or bring oil to our shores in tankers;
For pilots who guide ships into harbour;
For those who work on ferries;
And for those who seek the challenge of the sea, sailing yachts round the world, or facing the waves in tiny craft;
And we give thanks today for the men and women who risk their lives when others are in peril - those who set out to sea in lifeboats.

A very short prayer

Dear lord, teach us so to care for others that we may cheerfully work for their good and strive to help them when they are in need.
To be sung to the tune of "What shall we do with the drunken sailor"

What can be done for the sinking vessel
What can be done for the sinking vessel
What can be done for the sinking vessel
Early in the morning

Call up the crew and launch the lifeboat
Call up the crew and launch the lifeboat
Call up the crew and launch the lifeboat
Early in the morning

Thank the lord for the lifeboat service
Thank the lord for the lifeboat service
Thank the lord for the lifeboat service
Every night and morning
