Act of Remembrance
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.
Acte du Souvenir Ils ne vieilliront pas omme nous, qui leur avons survécu. Ils ne connaîtront jamais l’outrage ni le poids des années. Quand viendra l’heur du crépuscule et celle de l’aurore, nous nous souviendrons d’eux. Gone forever but never forgotten... Ils ont péri, mais leurs noms resteront à jamais gravés dans notre mémoire.

Prayer for Canada …And Thou, O Power, that ‘stablishest the Nation, Give wisdom in the midst of our elation; Who are so free that we forget we are— That freedom brings the deepest obligation: Grant us this presage for a guiding star, To lead the van of Peace, not with a craven spirit, But with the consciousness that we inherit What built the Empire out of blood and fire, And can smite, too, in passion and with ire. Purge us of Pride, who are so quick in vaunting Thy gift, this land, that is in nothing wanting; Give Mind to match the glory of the gift, Give great Ideals to bridge the sordid rift Between our heritage and our use of it. Then in some day of terror for the world, When all the flags of the Furies are unfurled, When Truth and Justice, wildered and unknit, Shall turn for help to this young, radiant land, We shall be quick to see and understand: What shall we answer in that stricken hour? Shall the deep thought be pregnant then with power? Shall the few words spring swift and grave and clear? Use well the present moment. They shall hear. Duncan Campbell Scott

To the Canadian Mothers Why mourn the dead, that are the world’s possessions? These, our Immortals—Shall we give them up To the complaint of private loss and dole? Nay—mourn for them, if mourn thou must,— Grief is thy private treasure; Thy soul alone can count its weight or measure. But we who know they saved the world Think of them joined to that unwithering throng, Who in the long dread strife Have thought and fought for Liberty: When she was but a faint pulsation in the mind, The faintest rootlet of a growing thought, They nourished her with tears And gave their dreams to add depth to her foliage; And when the enemy ravaged her bright blossoms, Drenched her with their rich blood To prove she lived and was the ever-living. These are the true Immortals, The deathless ones that saved the world. Duncan Campbell Scott

The Engineer Prayer Almighty God, we pray thee to bless the Canadian Military Engineers. May our bridges always stand, and our charges never fail, our members be ever loyal, and our officers worthy of their loyalty. May we work diligently in all our purposes and be skilled in our trades; steadfast for Queen and Country everywhere. Amen.
La prière du Sapeur Ô Dieu Tout-Puissant, nous te prions de bénir tes serviteurs du Génie militaire canadien. Fais que nos ponts ne s’effondrent pas et que nos charges soient efficaces. Donne la force à nos membres de se conduire loyalement et fais que nos officiers soient dignes de cette loyauté. Puissions-nous travailler avec diligence dans toutes nos entreprises, être habiles dans tous nos métiers, et servir notre souveraine et notre patrie en toute constance. Amen.
