Excerpt from Exercises on the Three Hundredth Anniversary of the Landing of the Pilgrims: Held at Plymouth, Massachusetts Tuesday, December 21, 1920 Spirit of light, and ever more Light, God of our fathers' faith! Humble us to thank thee meekly for them, the brave, the kind, the true, who having lived yet live. How constant art thou unto sons who fear thee, fearing naught beside; who revere thee, and their need is met! We praise thee for the work they wrought, who were poor in all the goods of earth, rich in the knowledge of thy Law; who in pain set up the first rude shelter here who builded here an House of Life so vast that under its wide roof is room for a world of men. While hearts beat high with the emotions of this hour, this day, let us not cease to think how it was thy Hand led them forth, three hundred years ago, and held them safe, to their desired haven. Endue us with some part of their stern and patient wisdom of duty, their Pilgrim quietness of soul. O strong and loving Father of mankind! To our dear country bring in again the good and godly order, as of old; that the days of this free people may be long in the land the Lord their God gave to our fathers, for we know, thy Promise doth not fail for evermore. Amen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
