(Originally appearing in the Manchester Union Leader)
“Thus out of small beginnings greater things have been produced by His hand. And as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone to many. Let the glorious name of Jehovah have all the praise.” (William Bradford, Governor of Plymouth County, 1621)
Thankful they assembled there,
A humble Pilgrim band,
To praise their God in silent prayer
That He should bless their land.
