 LOYAL LEGION HYMN 
 
 ABRAHAM LINCOLN 
 
 February 12, 1809 
 February iz, 191 8 
 
 Eare sailing, Father Abraham, amillion men and more 
 To fight the battle of the Right upon a foreign shore; 
 Your spirit still will guide us as in that elder day 
 You showed the path to Freedom, and dying, blazed the way ; 
 'T is Freedom still we 're seeking, the Freedom of the World, 
 From shackles worse than Slavery : — Our flag is now unfurled 
 In consecrated battle against a foreign Ghoul 
 Whose madness would enthrall the mind and crucify the Soul. 
 The Flag you loved and died for will surely lead the van 
 Of heroes pledged to Freedom and Brotherhood of Man. 
 Look down upon your people, look down upon your land. 
 Once more become our leader, stretch out your helping hand: 
 We know the God who took you and keeps you near His heart 
 Will spare you from His Kingdom to take your people's part. 
 To help them win the battle that leads to lasting peace. 
 That binds up wounds of mind and heart and bids war's terrors 
 
 cease. 
 That purifies the Earth for God and God's anointed Son: — 
 Then, Abraham, return to God, your work once more is done.
