MHB 789 – FORGET them not, O Christ, who stand

Methodist-Hymns-789

1: FORGET them not, O Christ, who stand
Thy vanguard in the distant land.

2: In flood, in flame, in dark, in dread,
Sustain, we pray, each lifted head.

3: Exalt them over every fear,
In peril come Thyself more near.

4: Thine is the work they strive to do,
Their foes so many, they so few.

5: Be with Thine own, thy loved, Who stand,
Christ’s vanguard, in the storm swept land.
