A PRAYER.
BY Florida Pine.

Our God; Thou who dost hold within
thy hand,
The life of Nations and the fate Of
world;
Look down in mercy on that Eastern
Sodden and crimsoned with the blood
of men.
There Ruin stalks mid desolated
homes,
The lannon's roar breaks there the
heart of peace,
The voice of Anguish thrills the pull
sing air;
With pain of loss, which cannot
know surcease.
Roll back these surging waves of
death Oh, God!
The flood gates of this madness bar
and seal;
Send forth Thy Spirit with convincing
power,
And lead men upward to an age
ideal
Teach them that Thou art God and
Thou alone.
Subdue the wills that dare thy power
defy;
Restrain the rulers; let Thy pity rest
On those who go to battle but to
die.
Century. Fla. Dec. 4th.
