From the Memphis Appeal.
The soldiers Prayer on Thanksgiving Day.
B. wADDELL.
Father of Mercy Thou whose name supreme
Is heard upon the mountain and murmured the stream
To whom the prOudest monarch in reverential awe,
Bows down'n meek submission the subject of the law;
Thou whom the unaugt savage remote from Christian land
Hath learned to worship by instinct the working of thy
Father, Thy children, objects of thy tender care
Ask Thee, this day, to hea7 the soldiers prayer.
Father of Light, whose hand has been guide,
Has seered our bark to victry every battles tide
Who Manassas plains didst cause the foe to YIELD
And our arms with vctry upon proud Belmont
Father 0mnipotent, praise thy glorious name,
Thy greatness, goodness. with one voice proclaim;
We beg to thank Thee-Thy glorious praise TO sing.
Jehovah aud our God-the Southrons only king.
God of the Just ! Thou judge of right and wrong,
Whose hand defends the weak and oft defeats the strong
As Thou iu olden time did strengthen Davids arm,
Give US that strength we ask and shelter us from harm
1t in the wrong, ask Thee not to Justify;
But II our cause is jast-God grant us victory!
We ask not boodwe love not battle strife,
But at Thy hands ask Great God, LIBERTY AND LIFE
Father of Goodness and Mercy, we pray,
For our brothers arms who are slain in the fray
Divine absoutiOn and bright home above
In the bright land of the spirits and Of Thy love
And when again the field the cannon shall rattle,
And their brothers earth in the midst of the battle
Let their pleas intercede tor their brothers below,
That again and again we may vanquish the foe.
Father of Love, look upon our homes
Seal each with Thy protection when the despoer comes;
Bless all the loved ones at the close Of the day,
They pray for the soldiers, who camp far away;
Wheu psiumber kind Father, let hopes gentle beams
Fall on every heartfelt them meet dreams;
And when some fond heart, in sadness grows still,
Let some sweet angel whisper-be thinks Of thee still.
Father forgive u.s. and forgive thou our foe,
Who truly indeed know not what they DO "
Make pure their hearts, and haste the time when
good
Restore Us, pray Thee to peace again,
''And Thine Shall be the glory forever, amen
