The Collect of 7th Armoured Brigade "The Desert Rats". |
|
Almighty God, whose Son faced peril in the desert with nowhere to lay his head, grant to the Desert Rats, wherever we serve, keenness of mind, toughness of body, and greatness of soul, that in life and in death, we may be more than conquerors, through him that loved us, Jesus Christ our lord. Amen |
