O’er the land today is ringing
Praise of Lincoln’s name;
Childish voices now are singing
And our Flag, in all its beauty,
Chorus:—Yes! we love the name of Lincoln;
Lincoln, good and true;
Under God, he saved the nation;
Saved for me, for you.
|
He had sworn to do his duty,
Sworn to do the right;
Lincoln’s glorious fame.
Saved from foeman’s spite.
Lord! we come to Thee confessing,
Bound in sin were we;
Lincoln, working with thy blessing,
Wrought,—and we are free.

(Written for Lincoln Day, to be sung in 4th and 5th year classes.)
