Book Description

Excerpt from The Commemorative Services of the First Parish in Hingham on the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the Building of Its Meeting-House: Monday, August 8, 1881 SO they built a house to the great God, with timber laid in the walls, and the work went fast on and prospered in their hands and this is the house that was builded these many years ago. Then I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house Of the Lord. Our feet shall stand within thy gates. Lift up your heads, 0 ye gates, and the King Of Glory shall come in. And the glory Of the Lord filled the house Of God. But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold the heaven, and the heaven Of heavens, cannot contain him; how much less this house, which was builded with hands. Yet thine eyes will be towards the place Of which thou hast said: My name shall be there. There he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths and he will fulfil our petitions and grant according to ou'r hearts send us help from the sanctuary, and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord.
