PART I,

PARTI. Heave ho workmen once again
 Build high throne in air. A King in rusty robes dethroned
 Lies waiting for you there. Full three score years, or it is more?
 In yonder neighboring spire. EnthI oned above the village town
 He called his people higher. His voice as true as heavens own blue,
 Through all those changing years; Joined in the peoples joy and mirth
 Aud mingled with thelr tears. He rang for festive wedding days
 For Independence birth, For sasnted dead the measured tread
 Of feet which bore to earth. A generation of mankind
 Followed his strokes of power, For time who touched him in his flight He tolled the passing hour. When war with hate and deadly strife The nations life assailed. His iron throat new courage woke
 In hearts which elss had failed. And when from distant battle fields Tidtngs were swiftly brought To old New hngland's rugged hills How listening ears soon caught. The ringing of the old church bell
 The first the news to tell, That over North and South at last Sweet peace had come 70 dwell. But now, King, SO tried and true, To thee the world grown cold; No tributes bring, no praises sing,
 No deeds of thee are told. Of tongue and voice alike bereft,
 Half buried in the mold; Men pass thee by, all that Is left
 Of royalty 80 old. Shame that an age like this of ours
 Should spurn beneath It's feet, The very stones from whence it sprang
 Far better IS it meet. To build upon foundations Our fathers laid with care, To place our c. Ionations
 On heads then bowed in prayer. Heave then workmen; and again
 Raise high tn, one in air; A King in rusty robes dethroned,
 Lies waiting for you there.
 PART II. Formed from the same or kindred clay With you whose summons obey Like men of earth, my days were numbered; Like them in dust Of earth slumbered. Until heard your voices say kise King of old; rise this thy day Of resurrection; this tho hour, Then through my substance thrilled c power Mysterious hidden as a flower. In waxen cerements concealed, Pse,s the first M breath % of g spring revealed So rise at the summons of your breath. Rise in mid. air to swing between Old En lands church (''God Save the Qusen'o And stern New England's house of God, Whose hallowed aisles the fathers trod. Rise where the faith of Wesley bright With martyr flames burned day and night Upon an altar whose live coaS Kinaleo the sacred fire of souls. Rise to new life with DO new creed, To bring to man in all his need Of help vine to power within Save that which fla the cauSs in sin And remedy through faith in him Who throned apove the cherubim.
 With oroco n f.I,or roA Redeemed; built deed and broad A Kingdom on the love of God bring to you with this new voice These Royal words. Always rejoice. Of men deoased rise over self and ills ant Whose song tsisumpnans,,,ingers ;sos ling long %
 (Response.) True, true old bell, such words may we'll With ponderous accents deep and strong Ring down the corridors of time;
 Ring in our hearts and never cease
 Till heaven descends with earth at peace.
