How to secure lead on a broken stained glass piece...?

Baton Rouge, LA

I've got a "dumpster dive" find that I cracked apart today. The result is several pieces in stained glass that were extricated from a larger highly damaged piece that had been thrown away. I would like to make these smaller pieces stable so that I can hang them outdoors on our covered porch. Can I just use a regular soldering gun directly on the lead to secure the corners? What is the melting technique? Any advice would be very appreciated!

Here's one of the pieces (gotta love a freebie!):
