DECEMBER 1, 1880

Hail this happy festal day!
Now with one accord we pray
Heavenly Father, hear and bless,
Crown our labours with success.

Children, loud your voices raise
In a grateful song of praise.
Finishes now the work of years ;
Give the steam-horse ringing cheers.

Countless blessings shall appear,
Following his advent here.
Coast and Midland joined at length,
Unity shall give as strength.
