A PRAYER BOOK for SOLDIERS AND SAILORS Published for THE ARMY AND NAVY COMMISSION OF THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH BY THE CHURCH PENSION FUND 20 Exchange Place · New York 1941 The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. The Apostles’ Creed I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth: And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary: Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell; The third day he rose again from the dead: He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty: From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost: The holy Catholic Church; The Communion of Saints: The Forgiveness of sins: The Resurrection of the body: And the Life everlasting. Amen. To you who are serving our country in the Army or the Navy we send this book as a gift from the Church and a reminder that the Church follows you into the Service with deep interest.
