Prayers for sailors and Fisher-Folk

Almighty God, who hast given the sea Thy decree, and whose dominion is over the sea and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the sea, grant thy blessing, we beseech thee, to all who go down to the sea in ships and do business in the great waters. Preserve us in times of storm; guide us in all our courses and ventures, and prosper us in all things.

From William Blackwood and Sons, 1903
