SEP 10 1949 Tercentenary Hymn

"HARTFORD"

Tune: "Come, Ye Thankful People, Come"

Come, ye heirs of noble dower, Now tell o'er your hoarded power, Not with boasts let music ring, But with spirits thankful sing. Bless the choice that gave thy race River, hill and woodland's grace, Oak-tree, spread, a shelter plain, Elm-tree, arched, a living fane.

In thy grateful chorus name Sons who brought thy city fame, When the "Hartford Wits" were young, Hallowing still their ancient tongue In the first poetic cry Calling States to unity: Trumbull, Barlow, Humphreys, Dwight, Hopkins,-keep their torch a-light!

Hartford, portion of my earth, All enumerated worth From thy Past I sing with pride, Pledge to waft its glories wide. Oh, for him who lifts thy lay Hence three hundred years, I pray From our moment may belong Something wrought shall quicken song! -Inez Temple
