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.

October 20, 1918, for the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call.
