"Lift the strain of high thanksgiving!
Tread with songs the hallowed way!
Praise our fathers' God, for mercies
New to us their sons to-day:
Here they built for him a dwelling,
Served him here in ages past,
Fixed it for His sure possession,
Holy ground, while time shall last."
"When the years had wrought their changes,
He, our own unchanging God,
Thought on this His habitation,
Looked on His decayed abode;
Heard our prayers, and helped our counsels,
Blessed the silver and the gold,
Till once more His house is standing
Firm and stately as of old."
