One of our planes was missing, two hours overdue. One of our planes was missing, with all its galant crew. The radio sets were humming, they waited for a word; Then a voice broke thru the humming and this is what they heard:
Chorus "Comin' in on a wing and a pray'r Comin' in on a wing and a pray'r Tho' there's one motor gone, we can still carry on, Comin' in on a wing and a pray'r
What a show, what a fight Yes, we really hit our target for to-night! How we sing as we limp thru the air Look below, there's our field over there
With our full crew aboard and our trust in the Lord We're comin' in on a wing and a pray'r
