NO. 19. CHORUS: The Red Cross:
(Tune—Battle Hymn of the Republic):
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the Red Cross on the White;
It carries ease and comfort to the soldiers in the fight,
It strengthens their endeavors in the battle for the right,
Its mercy never fails!
Hail the Red Cross then forever,
Its mercy never fails!
At the call of suffering thousands it now flies across the sea,
The homeless hosts of Belgium know its mercy kind and free,
