As Chosen Men dear Lord we pray <\/strong>
\nYou will inspire, guard and lead us <\/strong>
\nThroughout this day .<\/strong><\/p>\n

Be there at our side when doubts enter in <\/strong>
\nAnd fill us with courage to overcome sin<\/strong>
\nFor our country, as Riflemen, we do of our best.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And give of our lives when put to the test <\/strong>
\nIn the knowledge that those that are left .<\/strong><\/p>\n

Will lay us together in eternal rest<\/strong>
\nIn life\u2019s greatest battle if we should but fall <\/strong>
\nAnother Chosen Man will answer our call.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He will pick up our rifle and also our sword <\/strong>
\nAs we seek the way forward <\/strong>
\nThat leads to the Lord.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He will take us where our needs they\u2019ll tend <\/strong>
\nAnd stay with us right to the end <\/strong>
\nAnd hold us safe and speak of thee <\/strong>
\nUntil our eyes no longer see.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lay us down in God\u2019s safe hands <\/strong>
\nAnd on our stone state.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Here rests a Chosen Man\u2019<\/strong>
\nLest We Forget!<\/strong><\/p>\n
