Feb. 1st, 2003 12:34 pmEternal Father, King of birth,
Who didst create the heaven and earth,
And bid the planets and the sun
Their own appointed orbits run;
O hear us when we seek thy grace
From those who soar through outer space.
J. E. Volonte (1961)
(An alternate verse of the Navy hymn.... I thought Heinlein had written a verse for astronauts as well, but I can’t find it.)
