A MEMORIAL DAY PRAYER
|
|
|
|
|
|
They served and fought and died
|
|
so that we might be safe and free
|
|
Grant him, O Lord, eternal peace
|
|
and give them "The Victory"!
|
|
And in these days of unrest
|
|
filled with grave uncertainty,
|
|
Let's not forget the
price they paid
|
|
to keep our country free...
|
|
And, so, on this Memorial Day,
|
|
we offer up a prayer---
|
|
May the people of all Nations
|
|
be united in Thy care,
|
|
And grant us understanding
|
|
and teach us how to live
|
|
So we may lose our selfish pride
|
|
and learn to love and give,
|
|
And keep us ever mindful
|
|
of the fighting men who sleep
|
|
In Arlington and foreign lands,
|
|
so we may ever keep
|
|
The "Light of Freedom" burning
|
|
in their honor through the years,
|
|
And hear their cry for peace on earth
|
|
resounding in our ears---
|
|
Forgive us our transgressions
|
|
and "Oh, God, be with us yet"
|
|
Lest in pride and arrogance
|
|
we heedlessly forget.
|
|
