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! • 2. 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! • 3. 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! • 4. If, drunk with sight of power, we loose • Wild 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! • 5. 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! • SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL: / @andrewremillard • FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: • / andrew.remillard.1 • / andrewremillardpianist • / andrewremillard • • HYMN PLAYLISTS: • Complete playlist of my hymn recording: • Hymns of the Christian Faith
