Joe Offer	Songs to the John Brown/Battle Hymn tune (71* d)	ADD: The Lucretia Mott Song (Margaret Hope Bacon)	07 Jun 17
And another: THE LUCRETIA MOTT SONG (Margaret Hope Bacon) On the island of Nantucket she was born beside the sea All her long life she fought bravely to make slaves and women free And she told us that where God dwells there must be true liberty And her light still shines for me Chorus: Thank thee kindly, Friend Lucretia (3x) For thy light still shines for me In the town of Philadelphia she hid the fleeing slaves For the freedom of her sisters she dared cross the ocean waves And she asked Ulysses Grant to grant a pardon for the braves... "Let's bring an end to poverty" the gentle Quaker pled "Let's give the workers all a chance to earn their daily bread Let the nations live in peace again just as our Lord has said"... Throughout the busy cities and across the countryside She preached one simple message, "Oh, let Truth be e'er thy guide Mind the light within thee and let love with thee abide"... #281 in the Quaker Worship in Song Hymnal Melody: "Battle Hymn of the Republic" Source: http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=46125.505;wap2
