Lest We Forget

ANZAC Day, 25th April, marks the anniversary of the Australian and the New

Zealand Army Corps’ first landing on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915, during

the First World War. Although the Allies lost the Gallipoli campaign, this was an

important episode in Australia’s and New Zealand’s history. It was our baptism

of fire as a new and proud country.

Father Brown: Opening Prayer

Hymn: The Recessional

God of our father, known of old,

Lord of our far-flung battle line,

Beneath whose awesome 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 die,

The captains and the kings depart,

Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,

A humble and a contrite heart.

Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,

Lest we forget, lest we forget.

Where is death’s sting? Where grave thy victoryI triumph still, If thou abide with me.
