Your pastor’s fame first got abroad + 

By his success on Culloden Road; + 

He filled the church so that the fold + 

No longer it the flock would hold. + 

But soon a larger church did rise, + 

With fine neat tower points to the skies; + 

When you o’erwhelmed with ruin dire + 

Did lose your parsonage by fire. + 

To his call with generous bounty + 

You built best parsonage in county, + 

But some good people in the town + 

At this idea they might frown. + 

Unless we made this correction: + 

The best in a rural section; + 

Your pastor he doth vigorous push, + 

He’s not afraid to enter bush. + 

And ’tis a fact there’s very few + 

With him can stick of timber hew; + 

Ready for to superintend, + 

Or a helping hand to lend. + 

When bold man’s wanted at the front, + 

You’ve but to call on Reverend Hunt; + 

In pulpit he conviction darts, + 

And points the way to troubled hearts. + 

But solemn thoughts we won’t employ, + 

As this is all a scene of joy; + 

Maids and matrons all charming + 

Do grace this pleasant housewarming. + 

Here people come from near and far + 

To purchase goods at this bazar; + 

And all is happiness and glee + 

At festival of this soirée. + 
