Full Lyrics

StayWho goes there? A Friend What friendWhence come you? From a dark cave beneath a ruined street. Oh friend, where fare you; why wouldst thou pass further? To lay my heart down at our Mother's feet. Whom call you Mother? EnglandNelson's; thine; Her whom we proudly serve in life, in death Her do I guard, friend Canst thou also serve her? Aye, when they fail her who do yet draw breath. Who art thou,friend, then? I wasand am No One No name is oursAn unknown host are we. Pass on, brave spirit. Oh, 'tis Christ that passes In thee, poor soldier, who didst die for me.
