    And have you been to Borderland?
    Its country lies on either hand
    Beyond the river I-forget.
    One crosses by a single stone
    So narrow one must pass alone,
    And all about its waters fret--
    The laughing river I-forget.

The danger o'er, both are alike requited,
God is forgotten, and the Doctor slighted.

Beneath whose awful Hand we read more

God of our fathers, known of old,
Lord of our far-flung battle-line,
Beneath whose awful Hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine--
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget--lest we forget!

The wind blows out, the bubble dies;
The spring entomb'd in autumn lies;
The dew dries up; the star is shot;
The flight is past--and man forgot.

Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,

The tumult and the shouting dies,
The captains and the kings depart;
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,
A humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet
Lest we forget,--lest we forget.
