God of our fathers, known of old--Lord of our far-flung battle line--Beneath whose awful hand we holdDominion over palm and pine--Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,Lest we forget--lest we forget!The tumult and the shouting dies--The Captains and the Kings depart--Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,An humble and a contrite heart.Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,Lest we forget--lest we forget!Far-called our navies melt away--On dune and headland sinks the fire--Lo, all our pomp of yesterdayIs one with Nineveh and Tyre!Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,Lest we forget--lest we forget!If, drunk with sight of power, we looseWild tongues that have not Thee in awe--Such boastings as the Gentiles use,Or lesser breeds without the Law--Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,Lest we forget--lest we forget!For heathen heart that puts her trustIn reeking tube and iron shard--All valiant dust that builds on dust,And guarding calls not Thee to guard.For frantic boast and foolish word,Thy Mercy on Thy People, Lord!Amen.i remember!
