TITANIC'S SINKING
Words and Music by
Mrs. Lillian Liskum.
On At lan-1c's breast in
a north- ern clime came the largest of boats

free," With her structure grand none could e're compare, Nor up-on her could architecis
frown She was clad with
steel and she could not sink, Yet
the greatest of boats went down,
On
a moon-lit night on a
glass - y sea, Ti -4an ic's souls were doomed.Tho un-

she in to
an ice berg

boat sank slowly the music played, Near-er
my God to thee, Near - er

Angels to beckon me,Near er my God to thee, Nearer my God to thee,Rear er to thee.
And her carszrs worih was three thousand souls, When the life boat steered from the boar so grand,
And jewels so rich and
For the ocean so deep and wide.

Some were seekmg homes in the golden west,
Wives and husbands parted to meet no more
And were hoping to prosper there.
To depend on the Lord for their guide.
When the life boats were lowered into the sea,
Wheh each lighted deck slowly disappeared.
And many were left t0 sink:
And no boat could they see on the wave,
Neither money nor friends could deliver them,
They were rescued that night but their friends so dear
They were helplessly at death's brink.
Went down to a watery grave
