“Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may lay her young, even thine altars,
O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.”
“Library Lawn and Chapel; Pembroke College” | James Hart Dyke b. 1966
Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.
Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty;
listen to me, God of Jacob.
Look on our shield, O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.
Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.
Lord Almighty,
blessed is the one who trusts in you.
University of Bath: Department of Estates
*After the Roman period, Bath remained a small town until the 18th century, when it became a fashionable spa destination for the wealthy. The architect John Wood the Elder designed much of the city’s Georgian architecture, including the famous Royal Crescent and the Circus. Bath also played an important role in the English literary scene, as several famous authors, including Jane Austen, lived and wrote in the city. During the 19th century, Bath’s popularity declined as other spa towns became fashionable. In the 20th century, the city experienced significant redevelopment and preservation efforts, including the restoration of its Roman baths and the construction of a new spa complex.
Today, Bath is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular tourist destination known for its historical and cultural significance.
The hymn is based on a German poem titled “Wir pflügen und wir streuen,” which was written by Matthias Claudius (1740-1815), a German poet and journalist. The poem first appeared in 1782 as part of a larger work, “Paul Erdmann’s Fest,” which was a fictional account of a harvest festival.

The London School of Economics does not have a single central, marquee building that defines the entire campus as typical for many US colleges and universities. Rather, it consists of a collection of buildings located around the Aldwych and Clare Market areas in central London. However, some notable buildings include:
Old Building: One of the most iconic and historic buildings of LSE, often associated with the institution’s identity.
New Academic Building: A modern and well-equipped facility that hosts a variety of academic departments and student services.
Lionel Robbins Library: Home to the British Library of Political and Economic Science, one of the largest libraries in its field.
Centre Building: A newer addition to the campus, providing state-of-the-art facilities for teaching and learning.
These structures collectively define that LSE settlement in central London.
