FAIR SEAT OF LEARNING! WHO SHALL TELL.
JUBILEE HYMN FOR MOUNT HOLYOKE SEMINARY, JUNE 23, 1887.
Fair seat of learning! who shall tell
The joy we feel in greeting thee
On this glad day, thy festal day,
Thy blessed day of jubilee!
O born of faith! O nursed in prayer!
What grateful throngs repeat thy name!
What memories, lingering round the globe,
With fervent blessing crown thy fame!
O loyal hearts! bring hymns of praise
To Him to whom all praise is due;
With loyal homage pay your vows,
In loyal faith your vows renew.
Glory to Him who planned, who guides,
The years elapsed, the years to be;
For His dear sake, in His great name,
We keep our hallowed Jubilee.
