DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY or GEN LEE

DJst thou weep. beloved chieftain.
Does thy head in anguish bow.
Is thy full heart overh)wing,
Wildly throbs thy aching brow
May the Lord Of Hosts support thee,
In thine agony be still,
In these holy words flnd comfort.
Abba. Father, it's thy will.
How my heart in love most tender
In its depth Of sympathy
For my own, my bleeding country,
Is poured forth in prayer for thee
That our God shall ever bless thee,
That his love around thy way,
Shedding DER thy evening brightness
Peace into the perfect day.
Blessing thee in soul and body,
Blessing thee in all thy ways.
Blessing thee with thy most loved ones
Lol with me our nation prays
E EN- thine enemies shall praise thee.
At thy feet in homage bow,
HonOred IL they may bat look
Upon that great, that noble brow.
Noble in the hour Of conflict.
Noble in the lull Of strife;
Not less noble, now o'erpowered,
Than when off with victory rife.
For thou art not conquered, Chieftain,
Thy braves bow~not in servile fear
Tho from many eyes are h)wing'
MingliDg with thine. the sacred tea,
Falling now on Freedom as altar,
Mourning o. er the dying flames,
Feebly fickeriDg. not expiring.
List the enemy's acclaim:
Triumph not, o bosstful millions,
At your dear bought victory;
You have but 0 o'erwhelmed, not crush' d
us,,
Oar Southern souls will e'er be free
They shall not divide us, Chieftain,
They shall honor, they shall praise;
To thy name and to thy army
Monuments Of glory raise.
All the world shall bring their tributes
To the memory Of our past.
Tho they helped our foe, assisting
Him to ruin us at last.
Let us, then, Ohieftain and people,
Lift our eyes and hearts above,
Fixing all our hopes ON Him
Great in justice, power and love;
To His care commit our country,
Meekly bowling TO his will.
Praying to increase His kingdom
Until It the earth shall fill.
