O valiant hearts who to your glory came Through dust of conflict and through battle flame Tranquil you lie, your knightly virtue proved Your memory hallowed in the land you loved... Splendid you passed, the great surrender made Into the light that nevermore shall fade Deep your contentment in that blest abode Who wait the last clear trumpet call of God... ♪ Long years ago, as earth lay dark and still Rose a loud cry upon a lonely hill While in the frailty of our human clay Christ, our Redeemer, passed the self-same way Still stands His Cross from that dread hour to this Like some bright star above the dark abyss Still, through the veil, the Victor's pitying eyes... They who have drunk his cup of sacrifice... O risen Lord, O Shepherd of our dead Whose cross has bought them and whose staff has led... In glorious hope their proud and sorrowing land Commits her children to Thy gracious hand... Thy gracious hand...
