��warm, First flow'r of their wil- der- ness! star of tbeir night.Calm rising thro' change and thro' storm 1 thee, Till freightedwiih treasure-tho'ts fricndships.andhopes.Thou did'st launch us onDes ti - ny's sea.

�� ��When, as pilgrims, we come to revisit thy halls,

To what kindlings the season gives birth ! Thy shades are more soothing, thy sunlight more dear,

Than descend on less privileged eartli ; For the good and the great, in their beautiful prime,

Through thy precincts have musingly trod ; As they girded their spirits or deepened the streamt

That make glad the fair city of God.

��4 Farewell ! be thy destinies onward and bright I

To thy children the lesson still give, With freedom to think, and with patience to bear,

And for right ever bravely to live. Let not moss-covered error moor thee at its side.

As the world on truth's current glides by ; Be the herald of light, and the bearer of love.

Till the stock of the Puritans die.
