\'Eleventh Hour Remembrance\'
Tune: The Supreme Sacrifice
(\'O valiant hearts\')
**********
The vineyard calls even at fading light
The last are welcomed to employers* sight
No wage is lost, no price, no soul denied
The master\'s mercy gracious turns the tide
At trenches\' edge, the clocks they did align
The eleventh hour, it drew its sign
Guns fell silent, faltering breath was stayed
A fragile peace, armistice at last made
So numbers bind both in war and in word
The Gospel\'s grace, the bugle sound is heard
From vineyards rows and unto fields of clay
We mark the hour, and we bow to pray
----------
* The \'employer\' is the owner of the vineyard.
