The sacrifice of vernal men has kept this island free | |||
Their blood was spilt on foreign fields, their breath expired at sea | |||
We shan't forget their priceless gift, their loss won't be in vain | |||
We honour and remember those young heroes who were slain | |||
Lest we forget, lest we forget | |||
Their blood was shed to keep us free | |||
Lest we forget, lest we forget | |||
We will remember them | |||
The sacrifice our Saviour made frees us from death and sin | |||
The blood He shed on Calvary will save us and our kin | |||
We shan't forget His selfless love, His gift won't be in vain | |||
We honour and remember Him, who lets us live again | |||
Lest we forget, lest we forget | |||
His blood was shed to set us free | |||
Lest we forget, lest we forget | |||
We will remember Him | |||
The poppy's red reminds us of the lives too early shed | |||
Let's love each other selflessly like those who for us bled | |||
Who fought for freedom for their home and others' conquered shore | |||
And know that Christ shall lift us up to live with them once more | |||
Lest we forget, lest we forget | |||
Their blood was shed to keep us free | |||
Lest we forget, lest we forget | |||
We will remember them | |||
