(Joshua 4:21-24)

24 Prayer of Sir Francis Drake

25 Prayer of Sir Francis Drake Disturb us, Lord, when we are too pleased with ourselves, When our dreams have come true because we dreamed too little, When we arrived safely because we sailed too close to the shore.

26 Prayer of Sir Francis Drake Disturb us, Lord, when with the abundance of things we possess We have lost our thirst for the waters of life; Having fallen in love with life, we have ceased to dream of eternity And in our efforts to build a new earth, we have allowed our vision of the new Heaven to dim.

27 Prayer of Sir Francis Drake Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly, to venture on wilder seas Where storms will show Your mastery; Where losing sight of land, we shall find the stars.

28 Prayer of Sir Francis Drake We ask you to push back the horizons of our hopes; And to push back the future in strength, courage, hope, and love.

29 Prayer of Sir Francis Drake We ask you to push back the horizons of our hopes; And to push back the future in strength, courage, hope, and love. This we ask in the name of our Captain, Who is Jesus Christ. Amen.
