82 History of Hingham. 



the members of all churches are at peace with each other. They 

 differ without acrimony, each in his own way endeavoring to 

 " worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father seeketh 

 such to worship Him." 



" In pleasant lands have fallen the lines 

 That bound our goodly heritage ; 

 And safe beneath our sheltering vines 



Our youth is blessed, and soothed our age. 



" What thanks, O God, to thee are due, 

 That thou didst plant our fathers here, 

 And watch and guard them as they grew, 

 A vineyard to the Planter dear. 



" Thy kindness to our fathers shown, 



In weal and woe, through all the past, 

 Their grateful sons, O God ! shall own, 

 While here their name and race shall last."
