Source: Book of Worship for United States Forces (1974). Mainly a Protestant hymn book, it includes liturgy from the Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, and Jewish religions.
Coast Guard Hymn
Eternal Father, Lord of Hosts
Watch o'er the ones who guard our coasts
Protect them from the raging seas
And give them light and life and peace.
Grant them from thy great throne above
The shield and shelter of thy love.
Lord, guard and guide the ones who fly
Through the great spaces in the sky
Be with them always in the air,
In darken storms or sunlight fair,
Oh, hear us when we lift our prayer,
For those in peril in the air!
Grant to them Your eternal peace, Oh Lord,
For they have followed your commandment,
That No Greater Love has he, who would give up his life for another.

There are verses now for every component of the Navy including the Marine Corps. I get goose bumps every time I hear this song.
