Excerpt from Indiana War Service Text-Book for Indiana High Schools Almighty Creator, we worship Thee. Divine Providence, we adore Thy Heavenly goodness. Heavenly Father, we give Thee our hearts. Purify them. Make them stronger; make them loving and compassionate. Bless our flag and keep it, as heretofore, of all flags in the world, the most in nocent of blood. Bless our people in this hour of destiny; make to perish suspicion and discord among us. Make us united in spirit, brave to dare, and strong to endure. Make us worthy of liberty, and if we are not worthy of liberty, then, rather than that we live degenerate, O God! In Thy just wrath, destroy us! Jerusalem is not yet delivered. Washington is our sacred city. America is our Holy Land. Bless it. Preserve it holy and free for free men. Bless our president and all others who bear our heavy burdens for us. Bless our governor, elected by the love of his fellow citizens, enthroned in their hearts, welcomed today with thanksgiving to Thee, O Father Almighty, after his dread illness. And especially, O Infinite Lover of Brave Men, bless our sol diers and sailors, who, for the love of liberty, look smilingly and unafraid into the eyes of deathu Give them complete and speedy victory over all enemies.
