Note-At the opening of the first college erected |

in singing the first four verses of Psalm LXV. |
in Sternhold and Hopkins version as follows: |
Thy praise alone. o Lord, doth reign
In Zion. thine own hill;
Their VOWS to thee they do maintain
And evermore fulfill.
For that thou doSt their pray RS still hear
And dost thereto agree,
Thy people all, both far and near,
With trust shall come to thee
Our wicked life SO far exceeds
That we should fall therein,
But Lord forgive our great misdeeds
And purge us from our sin;
The man is blest whom thou doSt choose
Within thy courts to dwell,
Thy house and temple he shall use
With pleasures that excel.
OF thy great Justice hear, o God,
Our health to thee doth rise,
The hope of all the earth abroad
And the coasts likewise.
With strength thou art beset about,
And compast with thy power,
Thou mak'st the mountains strong and stout
To stand in every shown.
The swelling seas thou dost assuage
And make their streams full still; 4
Thou dost restrain the peoples rage l
And rule them at thy will. |
