We weep for our departed.
Grieving, heavy hearted
Our feelings draw our tears.
Our sorrow now God hears.
As far as eyes can see,
So near and around me,
The flags and notes we find
That loved ones left behind.
Dear God, please bless,
Our soldiers at rest.
Dear God, Please bless
Our Soldiers at rest.
2.
A sea of crosses,
Soldiers that made us free.
Watching with pounding pulse.
I go and tend them with tears.
I reach with unsure hand
To those back from foreign lands,
I reach to touch the Hell,
To soothe those who fell.
Dear God, please bless,
Our soldiers at rest.
Dear God, Please bless
Our Soldiers at rest.
3.
Men and women with pride,
For you and me they died.
They struggled soon and late
Their suffering was great.
Sing praises again
Red, white and blue defend
We will defeat our foes
No matter where they go.
We are the USA
Forever we will say
“Dear God, please bless,
Our soldiers at rest.”
Dear God, Please bless
Our Soldiers at rest.
