HistoryThe Fairmile Grace - composed by Naval Chaplain Rev Dr Gareth Clayton OAM MA(Chaplain to the Fairmile Association)
Lord bless the victuals you have given this day
And bless those from the Fairmiles, we humbly pray
Ships known by number and not by name
In every way they deserved much fame
Daring and brave, gallant and bold
Their courage and skill would never grow old
So bless we pray this company here
The friendship, the memories, with hearty good cheer
