[Annual Prayer to God
for the deliverance which he made for our country
when our troops and the troops of our allies prevailed
and the great war ceased.]

Armistice Day Prayer
To be Recited at the Service on the Anniversary or on the preceding Sabbath,
after the Prayer for the King and the Royal Family.

Lord of the Universe,
to Whom silence is praise,^[1] Psalms 65:2.  
we recall in thanksgiving
(On Nov. 11th add:
on this solemn day of remembrance) 
the abounding goodness
which Thou hast bestowed on our beloved country.
Wrath and desolation surrounded us for many years.
In our darkness and distress
we turned unto Thee,
and Thy mighty arm became our light and our salvation.
The day we hoped for came,
when Thou didst cause the roar of battle to cease.
On that day, year by year,
fathers make known unto children
how Thou hast dealt wondrously with us.

Father of Peace,
in Whose hand are the souls of the living and the dead,^[2] from the Bedtime Shema liturgy.  
O remember for good
all Thy brave children who were ready to lay down their lives
at the call of King and Country.
Send healing to the wounded,
and bless them again with bodily vigour.
And as for those who are no longer in the land of the living,
may their sacrifice not have been in vain.
May their death mean
the end of all hatred and defiance of right among nations.
Implant Thou a new heart and a faithful spirit in the peoples;
so that, with one consent,
they make wars to cease to the end of the earth.

O Guardian of Israel,
shelter the remnant of Thy people in the shadow of Thy love,^[3] Cf. Psalms 17:8.  
safe from malice and massacre.
Hasten the days
when the children of men understand
that they have One Father,
that one God created us all;
and spread Thy tabernacle of peace
over all the dwellers on earth.
Amen.
