Show I I OLO CV OT of LINCOLN 8 By MINNA IRVING BEACON on the mountain A height Where Freedom waves her banner bright A clear dear serene and steady light lightA A hand that reaches from rom the dust And writes for or us in God to trust I And be both merciful and just justA A soul that lives to cheer and bless I The student in his lone loneliness ness And point the pathway to success A A. spirit humble yet divine That poured its essence superfine at Freedoms Freedom's shrine A broad humanity to all aU A love embracing great and small A sword a flame a bugle call A heart of faith inviolate A voice immortal in debate A lighthouse to the ship of state A name undimmed as years go So by A glory that will never die A star eternal in the sky His natal day from sea to sea Lord God we render thanks to Thee For Lincoln and his memory N.
