      A PRAYER IN KHAKI

      Permission of The Outlook Company, New York City

      O LORD, my God, accept my prayer of thanks

       That Thou hast placed me humbly in the ranks

       Where I can do my part, all unafraid—

       A simple soldier in Thy great crusade.

       I pray thee, Lord, let others take command;

       Enough for me, a rifle in my hand,

       Thy blood-red banner ever leading me

       Where I can fight for liberty and Thee.

       Give others, God, the glory; mine the right

       To stand beside my comrades in the fight,

       To die, if need be, in some foreign land—

       Absolved and solaced by a soldier's hand.

       O Lord, my God, pray barken to my prayer

       And keep me ever humble, keep me where

       The fight is thickest, where, 'midst steel and flame,

       Thy sons give battle, calling on Thy name.

      —Robert Garland

       These lads we used to censure

      ⁠For levity and ease

       On Freedom's high adventure

      ⁠Go shining overseas.

       Our springing tears adore them

      ⁠These
