Here's one for Hardiman, faithfull servant of God

Father,who art alone
Our helper and our stay
Oh hear us, as we plead
For loved ones far away,
And shield with thine almighty hand
Our wanderers by sea and land.

For thou, our Father God,
Art present everywhere,
And bendest low thine ear
To catch the faintest prayer
Waiting rich blessings to bestow
On all thy children here below.

O compass with thy love
The daily path they tread;
And may thy light and truth
Upon their hearts be shed
That one in all things with thy will,
Heavens peace and joy their souls may fill.

Guard them from every harm
When dangers shall assail,
And teach them that thy power
Can never ever fail;
We cannot with our loved ones be,
But trust them, Father unto thee.

We are all travellers here
Along lifes various road,
Meeting and parting oft
Till we shall mount to God;
At home at last with those we love
Within the Fatherland above.

Strength to ye mate. Yours, (always) Aye. Dave
