| FATHER of the thunder, | |
| Flinger of the flame, | |
| Searing stars asunder, | |
| Hallowed be Thy Name! | |

| Sister bullets hum, | |
| By our fiercest firing, | |
| May Thy Kingdom come! | |

| Flame, Thy Will be done! | |
| Give us, Lord, good feeding | |
| To Thy battles sped— | |
| Flesh, white grained and bleeding, | 15 |
| Give for daily bread! |
