ORDER OF CEREMONIES AT THE MCKENDREE CHURCH

HENRY CLAY

Wednesday Morning, July 28th, 1852.

FUNERAL ANTHEM,

"HE HAS GONE TO HIS GRAVE,"

TROS. HASTINGS.

PRAYER, BY REV. JOHN T. EDGAR, D. D.

FUNERAL INTROIT,

BY HON. EPHRAIM H. FOSTER.

FUNERAL DIRGE.

Words by W. WALES, Music Composed by CHARLES HESS.

Gloom rests upon the Western World,

Clouds gather thick and fast, The starry flag in darkness furl'd,

Now droops upon its mast;

Voices of millions wail with grief,
Deep sorrow bows cach head,

For Freedom mourns her noblest Chief,
Her glorious champion-dead.

His spirit, like the sunlight grand,

Illumin'd the fair earth;

Light from it beam'd o'er every land,
Where tyranny had birth:
Its kindling fire, on Grecian plain,
Lit men to Freedom's fight-
And o'er the far Andean chain

Stream'd on in glory bright.

Proudly he ran his long career,
Let Genius mourn him now;
It is no dream, that we are here-
That death sits on his brow,

That Eloquence, her pinion still,

No longer soars on high,
That he who guided her, at will,
Her gifted one could die!

Peace, gentle Peace, stands sadly near,

With drooping form is seen,

His grave to water with a tear,

To keep his memory green;
Toll now each bell, bis funeral knell,
Weep for the good and brave,

Let cannon, too, his requiem tell,
Who sleeps within the grave.

Weep for the Statesman, conflict-worn;

Weep for the glorious Clay,

Weep for the mighty, from us torn,
The Patriot, pass'd away;

Hallow his tomb, with wreath, and tear,

Let marble speak his name,

A monument to him uprear,
Enduring as his fame.
PRAYER, BY REV. Jos. CROSS, D. D.
FAREWELL ODE,

Words by OLIA. Music Composed by CHARLES HESS.

Bear, Summer Winds, his requiem forth

To Echo's farthest cave,

From every heart, and home and hearth

It murmurs o'er his grave,

Let plaintive breathings float aloft
In full harmonious swell;
Or speak, in dying cadence soft,
Our long, our last farewell.

Yet not a last farewell we speak,
Thou great one! lowly laid,

Since millions still, thy presence seek,
Whose glory cannot fades

Around thy tomb a halo rests,

A radiance all thine own,
Where patriot pilgrims are thy guests,
Thou! grandly still and lone:

A holy shrine, thy grave shall be
A nation's trysting place,

Where vows of fealty, from the free,

Nought ever can erase.

But thou art gone! thy wonted sphere
No more shalt thou illume,
Farewell! farewell! forever here

We now, have but thy tomb.
