And many a southern plain,
They will never wake to the reveille,
Or march to martial strain.
They barred their bosom to the foe
That we be not his slaves.
God bless the loving hands
That decorate their graves.
They braved the perils of the camp
And the dangers OF the field;
They bore our banner in the fight
Until the foe must yield.
Rest them now in hOnored peace,
That band of patriot braves.
God bless the loving hands
That decorate their graves.

What patriot fire once burned
In those now silent breasts!
They fell on many bloody field
And on the ocean waves.
God bless the loving hands
That decorate their graves.
Then bring the sweetest flowers
That deck the brow of May:
With reverent hearts and moistened eye
This tender tribute pay.
They gave us all we hold most dear,
For this their lives they gave.
God bless the loving hands
That decorate their graves.
And others still to memory dear
In unknown graves they lie,
Beyond the reach of mortal ken
But marked by Gods own eye;
There wild flowers bloom in sweetness
And the tender grasses wave.
