Oh, Father! hear us when we plead For those who fight and those who bleed, For those who yield their lives that we May safely rest in liberty. Remember, Lord, compassionate, Thy servants who must stand and wait. They serve Thee, too, we know full well, How hard it is, we cannot tell, To fold the hands that fain would share A portion of the awful care. Have mercy, Lord, compassionate, On those whom Thou hast bidden wait . H And as the fleeting hours Hy, And one by one hopels mornings die, And they are left there, Waiting still The workings of thine hidden will, Oh, Saviour, all compassionate, Keep Virgil Thou, with those who wait. --T110 Bookmaft. 18
