Raven-Hill. To face /. 17 THE SUPREME SACRIFICE O VALIANT Hearts, who to your glory cameThrough dust of conflict and through battle-flame ;Tranquil you lie, your knightly virtue proved,Your memory hallowed in the Land you loved. Proudly you gathered, rank on rank to who had heard Gods message from afar ;All you had hoped for, all you had, you gaveTo save Mankind—yourselves you scorned to save. Splendid you passed, the great surrender the light that nevermore shall fade ;Deep your contentment in that blest wait the last clear trumpet-call of God. 17 Long years ago, as earth lay dark and still,Rose a loud cry upon a lonely hill,While in the frailty of our human clayChrist, our Redeemer, passed the self-same way. Still stands His Cross from that dread hour to thisLike some bright star above the dark abyss ;Still, through the veil, the Victors pitying eyesLook down to bless our lesser Calvaries. These were His servant
