INVOCATION: NIGHT IN THE TRENCHES

Creator of the starsGreat and Little Bear—Have us in Thy care.
Thou who set Orion,Watch and ward to keep—Guard a soldier's sleep.
Hand that swung the Spheres,Strawed the Pleiades—Have pity upon these.
Hand that sways the plough;Will that stays the Pole—Sow thy good seed now,Guide an errant soul.
