Lord, Ruler over waves and sea, keep your blessed hand over all seafarers.

Give me the strength to lead a Christian life aboard our ship.

I do not want to disappoint anyone who may expect help from me aboard.

Keep my family at home in your care. Even when far away from them for long, let me always be attached to them.

Help me and all seafarers to keep on the right course always, and to reach the safe port of heaven.

Amen.
