Author: Margaret Sangster, 1838-1912 Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #540 (1972) Meter: 8.8 First Line: Forget them not, O Christ, who stand Lyrics: 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.
