COMMENCEMENT HYMN.
God of our fathers, by whose hand
Nations and men securely stand,
Vouchsafe to us Thy blessing now,
As in Thy presence here we bow.
Our fathers saw the “inward light
Of truth and duty, freedom, right;
When a harsh mother drove them forth
As wandering exiles o’er the earth.
On these fair shores their barks found rest,
The homes they builded Thou hast blest,
The tree they planted spreads its shade
O’er every valley, mountain, glade.
Through changing scenes of changing years,
Through stress and toil, through hopes and fears,
The cloud by day, the fire by night,
Preserved their faith and courage bright.
The starry ensign they unfurled
Has flung its radiance o’er the world;
The slave goes free, th’ oppressed look up,
The nations sing a Song of Hope.
