THE RED CROSS

Sign of the Love Divine

That bends to bear the load

Of all who suffer, all who bleed,

Along life's thorny road:

Sign of the Heart Humane,

That through the darkest fight

Would bring to wounded friend and foe

A ministry of light:

O dear and holy sign,

Lead onward like a star!

The armies of the just are thine,

And all we have and are.
