Students’ Prayer
God of love and liberty, we bring our thanks this day for the peace and security we
enjoy, which was won for us through the courage and devotion of those who gave
their lives in time of war. We pray that their labour and sacrifice may not be in vain,
but that their spirit may live on in us and in generations to come. That the liberty,
truth and justice which they sought to preserve may be seen and known in all the
nations upon earth. This we pray in the name of the one who gave his life for the
sake of the world, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Hymn - God of Our Fathers Known of Old
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!
Far-called, our navies melt away;
On dune and headland sinks the fire:
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare 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.
For hearten heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard,
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding, calls on Thee to guard,
For frantic boast and foolish word
Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord.
