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.
