Missionary Ridge.

November rs, 1861
The chosen army OF the Lord
In camp beleaguered lay.
A patient. tried. portentous host.
Guarding a periled way,
While fierce the foe looked from above.
AS hawk eyes his sure prey.
Evil the days that lie behind.
Nor boots 1t now to ask
Whose fault is here to be atoned;
1t shrinks not from the task,
That living sword but waits His word
Who stands behind the mask.
Patient, waiting. wary. II now
In leash lies sternly held
Against the hour appointed IT.
Its hardy spirit quelled
To silence ominous as fell
Ere Gideon's trumpets swelled.
And grand Ger all the theaters
That yet on earth have seen
Enacted tragedies was that;
Nor e'er before between
The earth and sky looked such a host
Down on mans awful sheen.
In leash it lies. while. ceaselessly
Hell's shrieking hailstones dash
To death the bodies of true men.
And make of earth a plash
OF blood against the day when Gods
Last judgment lights shall fash.
The mountains stand expectant.
And the hills forget to skip
As dawns the hour the Lord hath said
His host its leash shall slip;
And the valleys wide lie silent
Nor doubts the foe his grip.
Hank, the signal! tits no bugle
Sor,1, ont that rouga1 0roul.
AS from the lowest pits black mouth
1t splits the day, as foul
AS black mephitic vapors circling
Where lost spirits howl.
And the loos'd host. its strong arm bare,
Is free to strike at last
Its blow the universe shall feel
When earth is of the past;
Nor is a power to give it check
More than the cyclones blast.
As the Alaskan glacier moves
To join the mother sea,
So without haste or halt that host
Moved to its destiny;
AS out OF darkness came the light
When God said. Let there BE-
See now. the very pinnacles
OF all Times glorious days.
Rise high as the Empyrean
That victory's dazzling ways;
And 10 whom lived and to whom died
BE everlasting praise.
But blessed over all are they
That died. for 10. the rod
That pointed them the troubled way
Their willing footsteps trod
Up to that peerless death was held
By the hand OF the living God.
