AGINCOURT (Second Tune).

Six 8's.

English Melody, c. 1415;

May be sung in unison throughout.. Harmonized by WINFRED DOUGLAS, 1918.

4 If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe,
Such boasting as the Gentiles use,

Or lesser breeds without the law:

Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget.

5 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.
RUDYARD KIPLING, 1897.

Refrain in v. 3.

JOHANN FRANCK, 1653; Tr.

O how our hearts beat high with joy, Whene' er we hear that glorious word:

2 Our fathers, chained in prisons dark, 3 Faith of our fathers! faith and prayer

Shall keep our country true to
