God of earth and outer space, God of love and God of grace, bless the astronauts who fly as they soar beyond the sky. God who flung the stars in space, God ho set the sun ablaze, fling the spacecraft through the air, let man know your presence there. God of atmosphere and air, God of life and planets bare, use man's courage and his skill as he seeks your holy will. God of depth and God of height, God of darkness, God of light, as man walks in outer space, teach him how to walk in grace. God of man's exploring mind, God of wisdom, God of time, launch us from complacency to a world in need of thee. God of power, God of might, God of rockets firing bright. Hearts ignite and thrust within, love for Christ to share with men. God of earth and outer space, God who guides the human race, guide the lives of seeking youth in their search for heavenly truth. God who reigns below, above, God of universal love, love that gave Nativity, love that gave us Calvary.
