O Valiant Hearts, Arkwright, Harris, Emma Brown, Menin Gate

O Valiant Hearts Poem Sir John Stanhope Arkwright Music Rev. Dr. Charles Harris Mezzo-soprano Emma Brown Royal Symphonic Band of the Belgian Air Force Conductor Captain Matty Cilissen On the ninetieth anniversary of the Menin Gate, Commonwealth War Graves Commission. The Menin Gate commemorates over 54,000 missing soldiers from the Ypres Salient. During this song, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission let 20,000 poppy petals flutter down from the gate. O Valiant Hearts O valiant hearts who to your glory came Through 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 war As who had heard God’s message from afar; All you had hoped for, all you had, you gave, To save mankind—yourselves you scorned to save. Splendid you passed, the great surrender made; Into the light that nevermore shall fade; Deep your contentment in that blest abode, Who wait the last clear trumpet call of God. These were His servants, in His steps they trod, Following through death the martyred Son of God: Victor, He rose; victorious too shall rise They who have drunk His cup of sacrifice. O risen Lord, O Shepherd of our dead, Whose cross has bought them and Whose staff has led, In glorious hope their proud and sorrowing land Commits her children to Thy gracious hand.
