Under cathedral arches long,

And shepherds from the farther

"God teach US to meet death Alright
In fold or glebe or battle blight,
Give us brave hearts to face His ills. ?"
Thus, ere the lands TO peace awoke,
In olden days of strife and wrong.
They prayed, those fearful, simple
folk.
Trusting their God to make them
strong.
Afraid lest fear with death draw
nigh
Strengthen us, teach US how to

We, in a time of modern guise,
Loosed from their fear Of unleashed

Still pray their prayer in modern wise
Tho other need IL witnesseth
We pray like them for strength in

But strength to face, not EoLti
but Life.
