Bishop of the Diocese Of this State, was sung

Glory to Gcd on high,
Who gave the nations rest.
When Aibon's red cross swept the SKY
Ger all the open Vest
Then from the battle plain,
Men Ger their ploughshaless o.es . ,.,n
And swords which fercer strife must siam
Through twelve calm years were sheafhed
Bless we the patriot band
Who spoke. in council sage,
with thought that grasped tn expanding hand,
And pierced the coming age;
1.-THE crown Of realms and hosts
For other brows must shine;
The Attic tastes. the Switzer's boasts,
Rhode Islander, be thine.n
Praise for the bounteous dead
The bounty that sti lives,
The whir ng wheel, the broad sail spread.
That gathers and that gives.
The lineage good and old
Bla1oned with generous arts
Craven. In characters Of gold,
On grateful human hearts.
Lord ofthe ages thanks
FOR every pure career
Of champions, Ia a hundred ranks
Who grit their armor here:
Then bore the days long toll,
Or laid young life down.
For duty, the dear natal soil
And the celestial Grown.
Glide back ye waves Of time,
To yon soft gales Of spring;
Bring half unveiled, truths brow sublime,
