Regimental Collect

O Eternal God, who keepest truth for ever, keep, we beseech Thee, Thy servants of the Devonshire Regiment ever faithfully and true to Thee, not by our might nor by our power, but Thy Spirit, for his sake, who calls us to bear the cross, our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Regimental Hymn

1

God, Eternal Father,

In thy house this Day,

Grant thy Peace, thy Blessing,

Lord, we humbly pray.

2

Bless our beauteous Homeland,

So belo’d so fair,

In each heart enshrined,

Tresur’d ever there.

3

Sons of Devon gathered,

One in unity,

O defend and keep us,

Faithful – true to thee.

4

Guard our homes, our kindred,

All we hold most dear,

Those we love, protect them,

Jesus hear our prayer.

5

True to our traditions,

Noble, glorious, free,

May our lives be worthy,

Lord of them – and thee.
