LINCOLN.

EDITH SANFORD TILLOTSON.

B. D. ACKLEY.

1. Sing we to - day of one who lives in mem - 'ry, honored, re-vered, and loved by one and all; Heart, soul and mind, he gave to our great na - tion, On - ly at last by trait-or's hand to fall.

2. Sing to - day of him whose care-ful guid - ing Brought I - to port our own loved Ship of State; Storm-clouds of war were threat'ning to o'er-take her, Safe - ly he Steered her thro' the har - bor gate.

3. Sing we to - day with grate-ful hearts and voices "Un - ion for-ev-er," un - di - vid - ed still, Grate - ful - ly pay the trib-ute of re-mem-brance, To his kind heart and wise, un - self - ish will.

CHORUS.

Mar - tyrs of old are famed in song and sto - ry, True un-til death their sa-cred names we praise; He, too, has won the vic-tors palm of glo-ry, He, too, shall live in fame thro' end-less days.
