It's on the wall at the rear of the burial chamber. Here's a photo.

There's an article on the tomb in the Journal of the Abraham Lincoln Association. It doesn't say when "Now he belongs to the ages" was added, but I wonder if it wasn't during the 1930s remodel, or at least around the time of the final burial. Here's the link.

I still believe it was "ages."
