Thank Godl the peoples choice was just.
The one man equal to his trust,
Wise beyond lore, and without weakness good,

His rule of justice, order. peace,
Made possible the worlds release:
Taught prince and serf that power is but trust
And rule alone, which serves the ruled. is just |:
That Freedom generous is, but strong
In hate of fraud and selfish wrong,
Pretense that turns her holy truths to lies.
And lawless license masking In her guise.

Shall prove his hope was destiny,
Leaving our flag with all It's added stars
Unrent by faction and unstatned by wardsl
Lol where with patient toll he nursed
And trained the new-set plant at first,
The widening branches of q stately tree
Stretch from the sunrise to the sunset sea-
And in Its broad and sheltering shade,
Sitting with none to make afraid.
Were we now SILENT through each mighty limb,
The winds of heaven would sing tho praise of
him.
Our first and besti-his ashes lie
Beneath his own Virginian sky.
Forgive, forget, o true and just and brave,
The storm that swept above thy sacred gravel
For, ever in the awful strife
And dark hours of the nation q life,
Through the fierce tumult pierced his warning
word,
Their fathers voice his erring children heardl
The change for which he prayed and sought
in that sharp agony was wrought:
| No partial interest draws its alien limo
| 'Twixt North and South, the cypress and the
pinel
One people now, all doubt beyond,
His name shall be our Union-hond
| We lift our hands to heaven, and here and now,
Take on our lips the old centennial vow.

Chooaer and chosen both are powers
