Transcription THE COLLECT OF THE ROYAL CORPS OF TRANSPORT
All shall say:
Almighty God, our heavenly father, you know no barriers
of land, sea or air, in reaching out in mercy to all
your children; grant to us of the Royal Corps of Transport
that we may triumph over all difficulties in the service
of our comrades, so that with them, we may play our part
in the cause of peace and the safety of all people, through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
HYMN
Who would true valour see
Let him come hither
One here will constant be,
Come wind, come weather;
There's no discouragement
Shall make him once relent
His first avowed intent
To be a pilgrim.
Whoso beset him round
With dismal stories,
Do but themselves confound;
His strength the more is.
No lion can him fright;
He'll with a giant fight,
But he will have the right
To be a pilgrim.
No goblin nor foul friend
Can daunt his spirit;
He knows he at the end
Shall life inherit.
Then, fancies, fly away;
He'll not fear what men say;
He'll labour night and day
To be a pilgrim.
