Remembrance Day (November 2020)

Many of you will remember Frank Tye, a former member of SBC, a prolific writer of poetry for the magazine and also, a man who was proud of his war-time service.

Today we’ve been remembering
the men whose lives were lost
defending King and country
at such tremendous cost.

They gave themselves for loved ones,
for strangers and for friends,
securing Britain’s future
so freedom never ends.

But also, we’re remembering
another man who died.
For those who were his enemies
our Lord was crucified.

And now our future is secure
from Satan’s power and sin;
the door to Heaven stands open wide
so all may enter in.

Frank Tye
