O Lord of Life, Whose Power Sustains |

O Lord of Life, whose power sustains The world unseen no less than this - One family in him who reigns, Triumphant over death, in bliss; To thee with thankfulness we pray For all our valiant dead to-day. As nature's healing through the years Reclothes the stricken battle-fields; So mercy gives us joy for tears, And grief to proud remembrance yields, And mindful hearts are glad to keep A tryst of love with them that sleep. Not names engraved in marble make The best memorials of the dead, But burdens shouldered for their sake And tasks completed in their stead; A braver faith and stronger prayers, Devouter worship, nobler cares. O help us in the silence, Lord, To hear the whispered call of love, And day by day thy strength afford Our work to do, our faith to prove. So be thy blessing richly shed On our communion with our dead. |
