Lord, shadow with Your loving care
The path of this Marine;
On land, on sea, by night, by day,
From him all dangers screen.

The leathernecks of God,
Brave men,
The soldiers of the sea,
Whenever perils threaten most
Marines will always be.

Be with them Lord, in all the lands
Where duty bids them go,
Keep strong their faith, keep high

their hearts,
Protect them from the foe!
