This poem shows that even when empires fall, God remains. This stanza especially, shows this relationship:
"The tumult and the shouting dies;
The Captains and the Kings depart:
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!"
It shows that a war has ended (the shouting has died) and that the empire has left (the captain and the Kings depart) but that God is still present (Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice etc). We know he is referring to God here, because "Thine" is with a capital T which represents something holy.
This is a rather subjective question, and it really depends on your personal opinions about the topic. In my eyes, yes, justice and forgiveness can go hand in hand. Let's take an example of an offender who committed a particular crime.
He or she will be prosecuted for what they did, and thus justice will be served. However, after they've endured their punishment, they might become law-abiding citizens again, and this is where forgiveness takes place - they can be forgiven for their evil deeds and allowed back into the society (although, this depends on the crime they've committed).
