Amazing Fredericksburg
Song Page

(Sung by the tune Amazing Grace)

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
We may have lost the battle, but we hope to win the war
We were blind but now we see

December 13, 1862
The Battle of Fredericksburg was fought
The confederates won the battle, but only because a bridge
That protected them from bullets shot down

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
We may have lost the battle, but we hope to win the war
We were blind but now we see

General Robert E. Lee led his men to victory
While General Burnside let down
We may have lost the battle but we won't give up
The country will not die out!
