<P><BR><BR>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! <BR><BR>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! <BR><BR>Far-call'd 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! <BR><BR>If, drunk with sight of power, we loose <BR> Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe-- <BR>Such boasting as the Gentiles use <BR> Or lesser breed
s without the Law-- <BR>Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, <BR>Lest we forget, lest we forget! <BR><BR>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
