23 Feb-2 Mar 1770:24, 31 (13/594)
Savannah, Monday, January 29, 1770. [Approximately l full
column is taken up with a description of a worship service
at the Orphan House Academy, with the Governor of Georgia
and the Commons house of Assembly of that province in
attendance] . . . the singing was harmonious and striking
and I must own I was particularly affected when at the
chapel door the orphans, officers, and domestics broke into
ranks on the right hand and the left and as his Excellency
with his train went up the chapel stairs concluded with
Live by heaven and earth ador'd,
Three in one and one in three,
Holy! holy! holy! Lord!
All glory be to Thee. . .
Sermon ended, all removed in the same manner as they came:
the clerk, orphans, etc., singing as they walked
This God is the God we adore,
Our faithful unchangeable Friend,
Whose love is as large as His power,
And neither knows measure nor end.
