JOHN AUBLE'S LEGACY (Verse 1) In New Germantown, where the wild winds sing, Born in '80, as freedom’s bells ring. Johannes Abel, a boy of the land, With Lutheran heart and a hardworking hand. From Zion’s church to fields of green, He carved a life where dreams convene. (Verse 2) With Anna Rouw, he pledged his vow, In Oldwick’s light, they built their now. Nine children grew ‘neath Sussex skies, Their laughter echoed, their dreams would rise. Sophia, David, Robert, and more, Carried his love to a distant shore. (Chorus) Oh, John Auble, your name lives on, In the hearts of your children, through dusk and dawn. From Jersey’s hills to the west’s frontier, Your legacy shines, forever clear. (Verse 3) A tenant farmer, with modest means, He sowed his hopes in family dreams. In Green Township, his kin did thrive, Through joy and loss, he kept love alive. Though winter took him in thirty-one, His spirit burns like the morning sun. (Chorus) Oh, John Auble, your name lives on, In the hearts of your children, through dusk and dawn. From Jersey’s hills to the west’s frontier, Your legacy shines, forever clear. (Verse 4) Anna stood strong, through widow’s tears, Guiding their brood for nigh thirty years. From Stillwater’s calm to lands far and wide, His children spread with a pioneer’s pride. The Auble name, through time’s embrace, Marks John’s life in this boundless place. (Bridge) Through Revolution’s fire, he saw the dawn, A nation born where his roots were drawn. From Abel to Auble, a name transformed, In America’s heart, his soul was warmed. His story’s a thread in the nation’s weave, A farmer’s faith we still believe. (Chorus) Oh, John Auble, your name lives on, In the hearts of your children, through dusk and dawn. From Jersey’s hills to the west’s frontier, Your legacy shines, forever clear. (Outro) So raise a song for John tonight, A humble man in history’s light. Though his grave lies lost to time’s soft hand, His love still grows in this promised land. Oh, John Auble, forever near, Your legacy shines, forever clear.
