Telling Of valiant soldiers
Their patriotism, loyal and true.
Tlev told Of the dear. kind mothers
Of wives and sweethearts too;
OF sisters who gave their brothers;
These sorrows, many knew.
Some blue stars were changed to gold
When souls passed on to God,
For bombs were bursting everywhere
While we in safety trod.
Their lives were given to save us
our heart strings tighter grow
When We think of untold suffering
In the trenches white with snow.
For them the course is ended;
The cold the fear, and heartache,
They've joined the eternal army
They went for our country'S sake.
For blessings, we should pray today
ks never we've prayed before
II comfort the unfortunate families
Who lost in the Great World War.
And may there be true happiness
For the boys who did return.
But whose health is lost forever .
And for such can only yearn.
Put not away the service flag
To-day it stands for Peace.
Today we have our Freedom
Pray God twill never cease.
