Memorial Lines
The Nation all with one accord
Bows broken hearted now to pray;
“Deliver us from evil, Lord
Help us thy precepts to obey.”“Lord, God of Heaven, grant us relief
In this our dark sad way;
From out the valley of our grief,
Lead, Kindly Light, our steps today.” [49][50]“Up to bright hills of hope away,
Lead us most Holy One;
And give our souls the strength to say;
‘Thy will be done.’”
