The Bible passages were recorded by Librivox, and are in the public domain. Readings correspond to the Revised Common Lectionary. (I decided to revert to the KJV for the reading from 1 Kings, because hearing “Yahweh of Armies” in place of “Lord of Hosts” is just too jarring for me).  The two versions of the Navy Hymn can be found at The Internet Archive.
