One of our planes was  miss-ing,  two ho-ours o-ver due.
One of our planes was  miss-ing,  with all its gal-lant crew.
The  ra-di-o  sets were  hum-ming, they wait-ed for a word; 
Then a  voice broke thru  the hum-ming and  this is what they  heard:

Chorus
"Com-in'  In   On  A  Wing  And  A  Pray'r_______
Com-in'   In   On  A  Wing  And  A  Pray'r_______
Tho' there's one  mo-tor gone, we can still car-ry on,
Com-in'   In   On  A  Wing  And  A  Pray'r_______

What a  show_____    what   a  fight______
Yes, we   real-ly  hit our  tar-get for to - night!
How we   sing   as we  limp  thru the air______
Look  be - low, there's  our field o-ver there____

With our full crew   a- board  and our trust in the Lord
we're  Com-in'   In   On  A  Wing  And  A  Pray'r_______ 
Circa 1943
