ORDER OF CIVIC SERVICE GOD SAVE THE QUEENGod save our gracious Queen
Long live our noble Queen God save the Queen Send her victorious Happy and glorious
Long to reign over us God save the Queen
LEST WE FORGETGod of our fathers known of old Lord of our far flung battle line
Beneath whose awful hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of Hosts be with us yet Lest we forget – lest we forget
The tumult and the shouting dies The captains and the kings depart Still stand thine ancient sacrifice An humble and a contrite heart
Lord God of Hosts be with us yet Lest we forget – lest we forget.
For heathen heart that puts her trust In reeking tube and iron shard
All valiant dust that builds on dust And guarding calls not thee to guard
For frantic boast and foolish word Thy mercy on thy people Lord.
Amen
Ode to the Fallen Heather Waldron, President, Tauranga RSA
They shall grow not old As we that are left grow old Age shall not weary them Nor the years condemn At the going down of the sun And in the morning We will remember them (to be repeated by all present) We will remember them
