God of our fathers, known of old,
Lord of our far-flung battle line,
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine:
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget--lest we forget!
For heathen heart that puts her trust
In 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.
--Rudyard Kipling.
But thou shalt remember Jehovah thy God, for it is he that giveth
thee power to get wealth.
--Deuteronomy 8. 18.
Almighty God, as I come to thee wilt thou forgive me for the errors I
have made, and for the promises that I have broken. Help me to be as
true as the holly that keeps itself red through the snow. Remind me of
my opportunities as I breathe in thy blessings, "Lest I forget!" Amen.
