ON LAYING THE CORNER STONE OF THE THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE IN CAMBRIDGE,
July 6, 1825.
Tune, Old Hundred.
O Thou, in whom alone is found
The strength by which our toil is blest,
Upon this consecrated ground
Now bid thy cloud of glory rest.
The strength by which our toil is blest,
Upon this consecrated ground
Now bid thy cloud of glory rest.
In thy great name we place this stone;
To thy great truth these walls we rear:
Long may they make thy glory known,
And long our Savior triumph here.
To thy great truth these walls we rear:
Long may they make thy glory known,
And long our Savior triumph here.
And while thy sons, from earth apart,
Here seek the truth from heaven that sprung,
Fill with thy spirit every heart,
With living fire touch every tongue.
Here seek the truth from heaven that sprung,
Fill with thy spirit every heart,
With living fire touch every tongue.
Lord, feed thy church with peace and love;
Let sin and error pass away;
Till truth's full influence from above
Rejoice the earth with cloudless day.
Let sin and error pass away;
Till truth's full influence from above
Rejoice the earth with cloudless day.
