To All who Fought for
England
|
|
Soldiers of King Alfred's land,
Faithful ones who died;
Who in Holiest Presence stand,
Washed in crimson tide;
Even now you may have read
What God hath in store
For the race that Alfred led
Peerless prince of yore!
You that fought and would have died
Had it been God's will;
You, by fiery battle tried,
Who are with us still;
May He bless and guide your ways,
While our England's made
In the swiftly coming days
All that Alfred prayed! |
