Memorial Day

We’re gathered to give honor

to our hero’s buried here.

Those who served our Country

to preserve what we hold dear.

In times of peace or war.

At home or overseas.

Because they served, Old Glory

still waves proudly in the breeze.

To those who gave their very lives,

words cannot convey

the gratitude felt in our hearts

for what each had to pay.

Dear Lord we still have many

 yet on the battlefield.

Guide them and protect them.

Be their armor, guide and shield.

And when the conflict’s over

and our victory flag has flown,

bring the sons and daughters

of our nation, safely home.

May the spirits of our brave

who now dwell with Thee above;

Know a thankful nation ,

remembers them with love.
