Decoration Day now is come, is gone,
Amid gladness and sadness, speech
and song;
1t tells of days, of months, of years,
OF f,ercest battles and sorrows, tears,
For life and peace and home.
Decoration Day, the saddest of all,
For through its memory our hear,s

The many comrades dear who gave
their lives
In remembrance of whom this day
survives
They died for peace and home.
Now in all this throng of human life
There lives not a soul free from
strife,
But let our hearts have one thought
for each,
And by that one sweet Thought, our
lives to teach
Love of peace and of home.
God is love. Our country to each is
dear,
His loving kindness fills our soul
with cheer,
And we should praise His name for
life and light
Blessed Lord, thou wouldst ever lead
us right,
In love, in peace, in home.
