POEM.
Wisdom inefYable! we bow
In reverential awe
Before Thy holy throne, and vow
To keep Thy law.
We pour the Corn. the Wine, the Oil.
Upon this new-laid stone.
And ask no blessing for our toll
But Thine, alone.
To Thee we build, in Thee we trust,
Thy glory we confess;
For Thou art God, and we but dust,
Whom Thou dost bless.
This is Thy temple; Thou our guide
Our ''trHe and trusty' Friend;
Be Thou, q Father, by our side
Until tie end.
The Plumb. the Square. the Levels test.
True, well formed" lines have shown;
And all is well, if God las blessed
This corner stone.
Now may the building proudly rise
TO he stately fans.
W mere Souls ere htteu Tor the SKIES
Where pesce shall reign;
Where Nasons' hearts. attuned to love,
Shall join i'll sweet accord,
To supp.icate the Throne above
And praise the Lord.
