Tune: St Anne
(\'O God our help in ages past\')
**********
A hundred years ago came peace
When First World War did cease
We remember with thanks and praise
They who served in those days
And too throughout all wars, conflicts
Our gratitude is this
Their courage, strength, that you them gave
For to human lives save
Those too afflicted, injured, killed
In turmoiled battlefield
Their life they employed in the fight
To bring justice and right
Yet above all, did Christ your Son
Give His life, holy one
No greater love than to down lay
His life for friends, [He] did say
Here days and years, centuries past
Man\'s fleeting life not last
But you are Lord everlasting
Eternal life you bring
Thousand years is to you as [one] day
Endures, then goes its way
And too one day [is] as thousand years
So to ou it appears
For you, Lord God, are outside time
But we live in life\'s rhyme
Give grace, forgive, Spirit impart
Your love to every heart
