O Christ, Forget Not Them Who Stand

O Christ

for­get not them who stand

Thy van­guard in the dist­ant land

In flood

in flame

in dark

in dread

Sustain

we pray

each lift­ed head.

Thine is the work they strive to do

Their foes so ma­ny

they so few

Be with Thine own

Thy loved

who stand

Christ’s van­guard

in the storm swept land.
