MILTON

When lips can sing and keep oil
singing
When facing fire and death;
When men can march and keep oI
marching.
When fellow comrades faint fol
breath;
When men can die and keep OF
dying
Amid shot and shell;
Then we, ON the home front, car
keep on praying
That God will end this living hell
o, Lord. we pray for the morning
light
That will ease our hearts from
pain;
We pray for the end of this dread
full night,
. When our boys will come march,
ing home again.
