Over There.

In the shadow of suffering are some.
In the trenches of chill, and despair
With shell and shot all around them,
Feeling with horror and fear.
"A stone meath the head for pillow,
Not a friend, TO offer a prayer,
In the shadow of suffering are some
our boys, who have gone over
there.
In the shadow of death, are some.
In the valley, so lone and so drear.
The rod, and the staff before them,
Their Lord and their shepherd is
near.
Goodness and mercy are following
n whisper in death, It's a prayer.
In the valley of death are some,
Our boys-who are going "Up
There"
IN pleasure and in glory are some.
They have answered the call to APP

ana are Watching and waiting over
there.

For the cross, crown they wear.
