OH POWERFUL BUT PEACEFUL WEAPON.
PRAYER.
The sword that conquered Greece and Rome,
And brought to Christ’s most sacred feet,
The pagan of the ancient world,
Was pray’r, yes pray’r with wings so fleet.
So raise your hearts, heav’n storm with prayer,
In supplication bend the knee,
Be not afraid, do not despair,
For pray’r is heaven’s golden key.
While war is waged relentlessly,
For honor, justice, love to all,
Prayer’s influence for world wide peace,
Through divine justice cannot fall.
AMERICA’S STANDARDS.
(To the Flag and Cross We Cling.)
Long may our flag float on the breeze,
A story it doth tell,
Of freedom, loyalty and love,
Of hearts that bled and fell
Mid the thickening smoke of battle,
’Though tattered it may be,
It speaks of struggles, triumphs won,
All, hallowed memory.
So unfurl that silken banner,
On high a cross we see,
Symbol of faith, and hope, and love,
The cross of Calvary;
Rich mines of truth and of feeling,
Our glorious standards bear,
The cross of Christ our redemption,
The stars and stripes our emblem fair.
