Hamlin From the Pilgrim Land

25

[AIR, "Lu Lu is our darling pride.")

1. Lincoln is the people's man,
Lincoln brave, Lincoln true,
Leading onward freedom's van,
All the conquest through;
Not a man in all the realm
Of our vast estate,
Better at our noble helm
Than our candidate;
Lincoln is the people's man,
Lincoln brave, Lincoln true,
Leading onward freedom's van,
All the conquest through.

2. Hamlin from the pilgrim land,
Freedom's home, comes to save,
Guiding with a patriot hand
O'er the stormy wave;
Onward glides our noble craft,
Laughing at the gale,
With her banner fore and aft,
And her peerless sail;
Hamlin is the people's man,
Hamlin brave, Hamlin true,
Fighting boldly in the van,
All the conquest through.

3. Clouds above our country lower,
Frowning clouds, drear and dark;
Waves of fierce contention roar
Round our gallant bark;
yet upon this gloomy hour
Fall some words of peace,
At their talismanic power,
All contentions cease;
Lincoln is the people's man,
Lincoln brave, Lincoln true,
Leading onward freedom's van,
All the conquest through.

4. Pictures on the future lie,
Pictures clear, pictures bright,
We can see the rising day
Over error's night:
Tyranny retires in shame
From the halls of State,
Truth and freedom bless the name
Of our candidate;
Lincoln is the people's man,
Lincoln brave, Lincoln true,
Leading onward freedom's van,
All the conquest through.
