Fifes and Drums/Prayer During Battle

by Hermann Hagedorn

PRAYER DURING BATTLE

Lord, in this hour of tumult,
    Lord, in this night of fears,
Keep open, oh, keep open
    My eyes, my ears.

Not blindly, not in hatred,
    Lord, let me do my part.
Keep open, oh, keep open
    My mind, my heart!

Hermann Hagedorn.
