'O eternal Lord God, who alone spreadest out the heavens, And rulest the raging of the sea; Who hast compassed the waters with bounds until day and night come to an end: Be pleased, most merciful Father, To receive into thy almighty and most gracious protection the soul of our brother PHILIP; And grant that, with him and all the faithful departed, We may at the last enter into the haven of thine unending joy and felicity; Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
ADAPTED FROM THE NAVAL PRAYER'"
