|
<p>Thou Lord of hosts, Whose guiding hand<br>
|
|
Has brought us here before Thy face,<br>
|
|
Our spirits wait for Thy command,<br>
|
|
Our silent hearts implore Thy peace.</p>
|
|
<p>Those spirits lay their noblest powers<br>
|
|
As offerings on Thy holy shrine.<br>
|
|
Thine was the strength that nourished ours;<br>
|
|
The soldiers of the cross are Thine.</p>
|
|
<p>While watching on our arms at night<br>
|
|
We saw Thine angels around us move.<br>
|
|
We heard Thy call, we felt Thy light,<br>
|
|
And followed, trusting, to Thy love.</p>
|
|
<p>Send us wherever Thou wilt, O Lord!<br>
|
|
Through rugged toil and wearying fight.<br>
|
|
Thy conquering love shall be our sword,<br>
|
|
And faith in Thee our truest might.</p>
|
|
<p>Send down Thy constant aid, we pray.<br>
|
|
Be Thy pure angels with us still.<br>
|
|
Thy truth, be that our firmest stay;<br>
|
|
Our only rest, to do Thy will.</p>
