Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee,

of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate

rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather

for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee

that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory,

and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies

and establish Thy justice among men and nations.
