Prayer for the Confederate States. 
 
 Almighty God, the Sovereign disposer of events, 
 it hath pleased Jhee to protect and defend the 
 Confederate States, hitherto in their conflict with 
 their enemies, and be unto them a shield. With 
 grateful thanks we recognize thy hand, and ac- 
 knowledge that not unto us, but unto Thee be- 
 longeth the victory, and in humhle dependence 
 upon thy Almighty strength, and trusting in the 
 justness of our cause. We appeal to Thee, that it 
 may please Thee to set at naught the efforts of all 
 our enemies, and put them to confusion and shame. 
 0, Almighty God ! we pray Thee, that it may 
 please Thee, to grant us Thy blessing upon our 
 arms, and give us victory over all our enemies 
 wherever they may be ; preserve our homes and 
 Altars from pollution, and secure to us the resto- 
 ration of peace and prosperity — all of which we 
 ask in the name of Jesus Christ our blessed Lord 
 and Saviour — to whom with the Father and the 
 Holy Spirit, we will give all the praise and glory 
 in time and throughout all eternity ! Amen.
