4. PSALM
Lord of the worlds above,
How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of Thy love, Thine early temples are ! To Thine abode
O happy souls that pray Where God appoints to hear !
O happy men that pay Their constant service there !
They praise Thee still;
My heart aspires,
And happy they
With warm desires To see my God.
That love the way To Zion's hill.
The sparrow for her young With pleasure seeks a nest,
They go from strength to strength,
Through this dark vale of tears,
And wandering swallows long
Till each arrives at length,
To find their wonted rest ;
Till each in heaven appears ;
My spirit faints,
O glorious seat,
With equal zeal,
When God our King,
To rise and dwell
Among Thy saints.
Shall thither bring Our willing feet.
5. DEDICATORY PRAYER-By the Rev. Mr. Jacobs.
6. HYMN
Great God, Thy watchful care we bless, Which guards our synagogues in peace ; Nor dare tumultuous foes invade, To fill our worshippers with dread.

These walls we to Thy honour raise, Long may they echo to Thy praise; And Thou, descending, fill the place With choicest tokens of Thy grace.
Here let the great Redeemer reign With all the graces of His train ; While power divine His word attends,
To conquer foes, and cheer His friends.
And in the great decisive day, When God the nations shall survey,
May it before the world appear, That crowds were born in glory here.

Enter, with all Thy glorious train, Thy Spirit and Thy Word; Let God's Anointed shine ;

L'Envoi
A hundred years have come and gone Since there was laid the corner stone Of this beloved church ; the men- Oh, where are they who served her then? They come not here their tale to tell -- (Tale other lips have told so well)- They've passed beyond their earthly lot ; Places that knew them, know them not. So we, too, their descendants, pass, As morning dew from waving grass. And, ere a century returns,
The fire of mortal life that burns However brightly now, will die Within us, while goes rolling by The tide of being ever swelling, And deepening with divine indwelling. Ah! as life's onward march is beating. Leave we a story worth repeating,- A story other hearts to swell, That we have done our work so well?
