I like the verse for the naval hymn "Eternal Father Strong to Save." Verses had been added for servicemen on land and in the air, Heinlein composed a Space verse for "Ordeal in Space."

Almighty ruler of the All
Whose power extends to great and small,
Who guides the stars with steadfast law,
Whose least creation fills with awe,
Oh grant thy mercy and thy grace
To those who venture into Space.

For those familiar with the hymn, I was surprised to see how many additional verses had been composed. There is a good list in the Wikipedia article, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_Father,_Strong_to_Save
