A Prayer for Hawaii
Praise be to Thee, O God:
For mighty fire deep in earth lifting up the isles from ocean floor;
for steady wind wafting seed to the shore;
and rain to bless her mantle of green
and fill the cisterns of life.
Thanks be to Thee, O Father: For all who have traveled here,
bearing in every race Thy image upon their brows; for the sea-grit
commonwealth which they fashioned of courage and forbearance
and the imagination of peace.
May the fire of Thy Holy Spirit ever burn in the hearts of Thy people,
and Thy benediction be the lively hope of all who dwell in Hawaii;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
