|
<p>God of our fathers, known of old,<br>
|
|
Lord of our far flung battle line,<br>
|
|
Beneath whose awful hand we hold<br>
|
|
Dominion over palm and pine—<br>
|
|
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,<br>
|
|
Lest we forget—lest we forget!</p>
|
|
<p>The tumult and the shouting dies;<br>
|
|
The captains and the kings depart:<br>
|
|
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,<br>
|
|
An humble and a contrite heart.<br>
|
|
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,<br>
|
|
Lest we forget—lest we forget!</p>
|
|
<p>Far called, our navies melt away;<br>
|
|
On dune and headland sinks the fire:<br>
|
|
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday<br>
|
|
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!<br>
|
|
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,<br>
|
|
Lest we forget—lest we forget!</p>
|
|
<p>If, drunk with sight of power, we loose<br>
|
|
Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe,<br>
|
|
Such boastings as the Gentiles use,<br>
|
|
Or lesser breeds without the Law—<br>
|
|
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,<br>
|
|
Lest we forget—lest we forget!</p>
|
|
<p>For heathen heart that puts her trust<br>
|
|
In reeking tube and iron shard,<br>
|
|
All valiant dust that builds on dust,<br>
|
|
And guarding, calls not Thee to guard,<br>
|
|
For frantic boast and foolish word—<br>
|
|
Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord!</p>
