Excerpt from Exercises at the Bi Centennial Celebration of the First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia: Sabbath Morning, November 13, to Friday Evening, November 18, 1898 Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Thou art God, and hast been God over all, blessed forever. In the midst of the years we re member Thee. We lift up our hearts to Thee, 0 Thou Eternal Dweller in the heavens. We praise Thee for Thy goodness, for Thy loving tenderness and mercy, which have been ever of old. Hear us this day, O God of our fathers. Hear us as we praise Thee, and magnify Thee, and glorify Thy great name for Thy great goodness. Bless us, 0 Lord, with Thy favor and with Thy love, and guide us through all the services of this day and of this week, that Thy name may be glorified and the souls of men benefited thereby. We ask these things in the name of Him who has taught us to pray, saying, Our Father, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
