"Extract from Adin Ballou's History of Milford"
"After organization the church maintained regular religious services in Washington Hall until
the erection of its sanctuary, situated on Congress Street, corner of Exchange. The land and edifice
were paid for by subscription from members of the parish and congregation and outside friends.
It was consecrated with the usual solemnities, March 21, 1871. The services on that occasion were
as follows:-"
"Entrance of the Bishop (Rev. Manton Eastburn D.D.) and clergy, repeating the 24th Psalm - The earth
is the Lord's and all that therein is etc; reading the Instrument of Donation; exhortation;
prayer; sentence of consecration; morning service; proper Psalms and Lessons singing of Psalm 21 in
meter verse 2 and 3; ante-Communion Service; the hundredth Psalm; Sermon by the Bishop; prayer;
benediction."
At the Service this evening we use the same Psalms, Lessons and Hymns as far as possible.

"I'll wash my hands in innocence
And round thine Altar go;
Pour the glad hymn of triumph thence,
And thence thy wonders show.

How thy renown excels
That seat affords me most delight
In which thy honor dwells. |
