DEDICATION AT LECHMERE POINT,

December 25, 1827.
Tune, Tolland.
O Thou, who for thyself didst raise
Creation's wondrous frame,
To be a temple to thy praise,
An altar to thy name,—
And yet art pleased to dwell below,
And there thy name record,
Where'er assembling mortals go,
To own their common Lord,—
O, write thy name in favor here;
And, while we bend in prayer,
Lord, bid thy glorious cloud appear,
Thy presence to declare.
As in thy gracious courts above,
So in these courts below,
Reveal to every soul thy love,
And heavenly peace bestow.
280

Here may thy holy will be learned,
And here thy will be done;
Till all to truth and Heaven be turned
Through thy beloved Son,—
Till all who kneel in worship here,
Be faithfully prepared
In higher temples to appear,
Crowned with thy great reward.
