Lyrics of Lord, Guard and Guide, also known as theUnited States Air Force Hymn. The text is derived from a prayer by poet Mary C.D. Hamilton. She also used the same text in A Hymn for Aviators, a musical setting by English composer Henry Baker (1852). Hamilton wrote her prayer in 1915 during World War I with the transcript first appearing in the American Student Hymnal of 1928 set to Mozart’s Dona Nobis Pacem. Years later during World War II, the initial verse of the prayer was adapted for use in The Navy Hymn as a tribute to naval aviators. This clarinet quartet (Intermediate level) arrangement is for: 2 Bb  Clarinets, Alto Clarinet (Optional 3rd Bb Clarinet), and Bass Clarinet. Performance time: approx. 2 minutes 5 seconds.
