“The start of a new year is the traditional time
to take stock of our lives and see where
we are going, measured against the

“The start of a new year is the traditional time

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's theme comes naturally to my mind every year at this time.
BONUS #1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCKY-By4HhY - Recessional - Leonard Warren
BONUS #2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn3ys-Sgsrs - Recessional - Nan Merriman - from "Smilin' Through", 1941
BONUS #3 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVqtdNODTxA - Anzac Song - Kipling Recessional - Lest We Forget - Narelle Worboys
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recessional_%28poem%29:
"Recessional" is a poem by Rudyard Kipling, which he composed on the occasion of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. The poem, on the one hand, expresses pride in the British Empire, but, on the other, expresses an underlying sadness that the Empire might go the way of all previous empires. Kipling recognizes that boasting and jingoism – faults of which he was often accused – were inappropriate and vain in light of God's dominion over the world.
Kipling had previously composed his more famous poem "The White Man's Burden" for Victoria's jubilee, but replaced it with "Recessional". "Burden" was published two years later, altered to fit the theme of the American imperialist expansion after the Spanish-American War.[1]
In Australia[2] and New Zealand[3] "Recessional" is sung as a hymn on Anzac Day, to the tune "Melita" ("Eternal Father, Strong to Save").
The Anglican Church of Canada adopted "Recessional" as a hymn[4] and a unique musical version of the hymn is included in the 1985 hymnal of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[5]
SEE: http://www.lds.org/music/library/hymns/god-of-our-fathers-known-of-old?lang=eng - ON THE TOP RIGHT, CHOOSE "Words and Music" and push PLAY.
The words "Lest We Forget" form the refrain of "Recessional". The phrase offers a warning about the perils of hubris and the inevitable decline of imperial power.
The phrase later passed into common usage after World War I across the British Commonwealth especially, becoming linked with Remembrance Day observations; it came to be a plea not to forget past sacrifices, and was often found as the only wording on war memorials, or used as an epitaph.

The words were originally
written as the poem “Recessional,” and published in the London Times during
Queen Victoria’s
Jubilee celebration. They were also sung at Kipling’s
funeral.
That poem gave me more trouble than anything I ever wrote. I had promised the
Times a poem on the Jubilee, and when it became due I had written nothing
that satisfied me. The Times began to want that poem badly, and sent letter
after letter asking for it. I made more attempts, but no further progress.
Finally the Times began sending telegrams. So I shut myself in a room with the
determination to stay there until I had written a Jubilee poem. Sitting down
with all my previous attempts before me, I searched through the dozens of
sketches till at last I found just one line I liked. That was ‘Lest we
forget.’ Round these words ‘The Recessional’ was written.
Price, p. 34
God of our fathers, known of old,
Lord of our far flung battle line,
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine—
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!
The tumult and the shouting dies;
The captains and the kings depart:
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!
Far called, our navies melt away;
On dune and headland sinks the fire:
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!
If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe,
Such boastings as the Gentiles use,
Or lesser breeds without the Law—
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!
For heathen heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard,
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding, calls not Thee to guard,
For frantic boast and foolish word—
Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord!
