[Albion Wilde]

As in World War II, Churchill’s words are true today in the spiritual battle for the soul of our nation. … grant Your people a heart of repentance. Fill us and empower us with Your Spirit, and equip us for battle. With Your help, may we effectively fight the Evil One as You give us the victory.

Hallelujah, amen, dear Father, our Protector and Savior! Amen and amen! Thank you for your beautiful prayer and remembrance, dear NEWwoman!

Original Scottish Version

Lay me doon in the caul, caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul, caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun

When they come, a wull staun ma groon
Staun ma groon, al nae be afraid
Thoughts awe hame tak awa ma fear
Sweat an bluid hide ma veil awe tears

Ains a year say a prayer faur me
Close yir een an remember me
Nair mair shall a see the sun
For a fell tae a German’s gun

Lay me doon in the caul, caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul, caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun

English Translation

Lay me down in the cold, cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold, cold ground
Where before many more have gone

When they come, I will stand my ground
Stand my ground, I’ll not be afraid
Thoughts of home take away my fear
Sweat and blood hide my veil of tears

Once a year say a prayer for me
Close your eyes and remember me
Never more shall I see the sun
For I fell to a German’s gun

Lay me down in the cold, cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Lay me down in the cold, cold ground
Where before many more have gone
Where before many more have gone
†

In memory of the many
Who gave up their lives so that we can live free
We will remember them
