Unknown, The Battle Prayer, front

Unknown, The Battle Prayer, front E Himmel The Battle Prayer. Father! I bend to thee, Life, it was thy gift, Thou now can'st sheild it From thee it came, and to thee I yeild it, In life or death forsake not me, Father I bend to thee. Father! I trust in thee, When midst the Battle's strife, Death did surround me, E'en at the camrous mouth, Death has not found me. Father 'twas thy will! I trust in thee. Father still guide thou me. All I give back to thee! When at thy call, I my Life then shall yeild When in the cold tomb, my fate shall be seal'd Father my soul take into thee! Father forsake not me.
