A Ranger Prayer

Oh, Lord we are about to join battle with a vastly superior number

Of the enemy, and heavenly Father, we would like you to be

On our side and help us; but if you can't do it, for Christ's sake

Don't go over to the enemy; but just lie low in the dark, and

You'll see one of the damndest fights you ever saw in all your born days.

AMEN

Said by Captain Jack Hays, Texas Rangers
