s glad when they said unto me, &c. 2. Prayer, by the Rev. Dr. Ware. 3. Reading of select portions of the Holy Scripture, by the Rev. Mr. Gannett. 4. Hymn, written for the occasion. Almighty God, to thee we bow, To thee the voice of gladness raise; Thy mercy, that hath blessed us now, In loud and grateful songs we praise. Long hast Thou stretched the avenging hand And smote thy people in thy wrath; Hast frowned upon a guilty land, While storms and darkness veiled thy path. But light from Heaven has shone at last, And Peace is beaming from above, The storm of doubt and fear has past, And hope returns, and joy, and love. Then praise to that Eternal Power, Who bids our wars and tumults cease, And hymn, in this auspicious hour, The God of mercy—God of Peace. 5. Address, by the President of the University. 6. Poem, by Mr. Henry Ware. 7. Prayer, by the Rev. Dr. Holmes. 8. Anthem, from Handel's Grand Dettingen Te Deum, We praise thee, O God, &c. 9. Benediction
