In all times past, yea, so long since, as can - not be ex-prest.
And shew un to thy chil-dren deare, thy glory and thy might.

Re-fresh us with thy mercy soone,
Lord let thy grace and mer-cy stand

And then our joy shall be: All times so long as life shall last in heart re- joyce shall we us thy servants thus: Con-firme the workes we take in hand, Lord pros - per them to us.

Sermon.

By the Pastor, Rev. S. J. BARROWS.

Original Ode.

By Miss ELIZA T. CLAPP. Music by H. W. EDES.

Thou living Truth and vital Power!
We cling unto thy changeless breast,
The phantoms of a mortal hour,
And find immortal life and rest.

Our fathers spoke their thought of thee

In words austere, with lips aglow,

And told in prayer, on bended knee,
The mystic tale of human woe;

We, children of a later hour,

Seek in soft speech and gentler tongue
To veil the splendor of thy power,
And do thy brooding love no wrong.

Our fathers caught with straining ear
The echoes of the Sinai storm,

And we a rarer music hear,—

The worship of the Life new-born;

But guard us, oh, thou living Lord,
If, lost our silken lines among,
We miss the high, heroic chord

That through their manly accents rung.
Shone on their brows the fervid beam
Of truth, in human symbols given;
Oh, guard us, lest earth's tender sheen
Shut off that grander light of heaven.

Closing Prayer.

By Rev. GOWAN C. WILSON.

Psalm 107.

(From Bay Psalm Book, 1640.) TUNE: "Dundee."

O give yee thanks unto the Lord,
because that good is hee:

because his loving kindenes lasts
to perpetuitee

So let the Lord's redeem'd say; whom
hee freed from th' enemies hands:
and gathred them from East & West,
from South & Northerne lands

I'th desart in a desart way
they wandred: no towne finde,
to dwell in. Hungry & thirsty:
their soule within them pinde.

Then did they to Jehovah cry

when they were in distresse : who did them set at liberty out of their anguishes

In such a way that was most right

he led them forth also:
that to a city which they might
inhabit they might go.

O that men would Jehovah prayse
for his great goodnes then:
& for his workings wonderfull
unto the sonnes of men.

Benediction.

By Rev. GEORGE A. THAYER.

Closing Hymn.

My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,—

Of thee I sing;

Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrim's pride,
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring!

My native country, thee,—
Land of the noble free,—
Thy name I love:

I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song!
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,—

The sound prolong!

Our fathers' God, to thee,
Author of liberty,-

To thee we sing:

Long may our land be bright

With freedom's holy light;

Protect us by thy might,

Great God, our King!

Scripture Selection.

By Rev. CHARLES A. HUMPHREYS.

AND in those days the word of the Lord came to his people, saying, "Ye have dwelt long enough in this land. Turn you and take your journey, and go in and possess the land which I sware unto your fathers to give them and to their seed after them. Fear not, neither be discouraged."

And when they departed, they came to a great and terrible wilderness, where the Lord bare them up as a man doth bear his son, and fought for them and established them, and showed unto them his greatness and his mighty hand.

Now, therefore, I call heaven and earth to witness. Did ever people hear the voice of God as they heard it? Ask of the days that are past, since the day that God created man upon the earth, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing, or hath been heard like it? When hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by signs and by wonders, by a mighty hand and a stretched-out arm, and to lead them through temptations and great terrors, and to drive out nations from before them greater and mightier than they, and to establish them in the land of their inheritance which he sware unto their fathers? Know, therefore, this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord, he is God in heaven above and in the earth beneath. There is none else. Thou shalt keep, therefore, his statutes, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, that thou mayest prolong thy days in this land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, and that ye may increase mightily in this land that floweth with milk and honey. And this is the commandment which I command you this day,—Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words shall be in
