Over lands and seas, their wings are spread.
Guardians by Your command, in Your story grand,

Carry our prayers into the night.
In their watch, Lord, let Your will be done,
On Earth as in the realms beyond the sun.

Bringing Your words, to every shore.

In their watch, Lord, let Your will be done,
On Earth as in the realms beyond the sun.
