Ref. L. C. Moore; Washington Bee, September 25, 1909
Omnipotent God who crowned our day,
With grateful hearts to Thee we pray;
Under cloud and sunshine led by Thee
Peace and Justice we long to see.
Thou God of nations, judge our cause,
And help us to keep and obey the laws.
A few may rage and curse in vain
Because Lincoln broke the binding chain.
But we pray that Thy healing hand:
In mercy save the blood-stained land;
And make Thy righteous judgment known,
And let our foes be overthrown.
Our voice forever will ascend
To Thee our Father will time shall end;
Let every wanderer join the band
And work in peace, heart and hand.
Then this race shall ever sing,
To Him that rules heart and brain;
And pray that Thou will once again
Plant peace on earth, good will among men.
“The Lord shall establish thee a holy people unto Himself, as He hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God and walk in His ways.” Deut. 28-9
