One hears a chorus in the missile's lull, Of roaring basses of the rolling waves, And the shrill soprano of the circling gull. And in the silence of the morning heat, One hears the solemn monotone of psalms, That drift softly as a beam of light, From the little chapel in the palms. Here are the soldiers-shed of their steel, Come with their fears and cares, To seek the comfort of their God, In soft words and l'Rurmured prayers. Only quiet and peace are here, And the west wind sings its song, And it whispers softly to the trees, And carries the prayers along.

In the midst of death and fear, Alive with soft sung psalms, Shining promise of peace to come Our chapel in the palms.
