Poems of Peace and War
Sweet liberty shining therein.

Such strength and devotion we gain,

These days of confusion and strife,

For freedom and peace we maintain

Will bloom with new vigor and life;

Where dynasties long have held sway,

And to the weak justice denied,

The new star of freedom alway

Will brighten the path they defied.

{21}

{21}

LEAD THOU ME ON.

Lead thou me on, oh guiding light,

Yes over life’s tempestuous sea,

My bark is frail as I set sail,

Over the bounding billows free;

The white caps glisten in the sun,

The angry waves dash on the shore,

But thy beacon light is shining,

Brightly shining to guide me o’er.
