Excerpt from The Pilgrims: And Other Poems We thank thee for the landing here, Upon this strange, stern shore, Of those who, midst the scenes most drear, Triumphant courage wore. For each heroic soul, 0 Lord, We bless thy name this day, 'twas theirs to listen for thy word, And then thy word obey! So they were formed for service great Those men of noble mould, Within their homes in Church and State, Mid duties manifold. In all their praises thee we praise! Thou wert their God and Guide; Serene, they marched through thorny ways Through hardships multiplied! God of the Nations! Still befriend The country of their love.
