Date of Window: 1965

Subject/Title of Window: Psalm 1/Psalm 19

Brief Description of Subject: This two panel window is located in the south vestibule.

The left panel's picture is based on verses from Psalm 1:

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit of his season; his leaf shall not wither ... For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous." KJV

David, the writer of this psalm, is seen with his symbol of a harp, sitting under a tree by a river, meditating on the law of the Lord.

The right panel's picture is based on Psalm 19:1 - 3.

"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night shewed knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard." Angels, using music, proclaim the wonderment of God's creation of the heavens for all to see --- sun, moon, and stars. The designer was Eric Sundean. The maker's signature appears at the bottom of the right panel.

The MSGC is a constantly evolving database. Not all the data that has been collected by volunteers has been sorted and entered. Not every building has been completely documented.

All images in the Index are either born-digital photographs of windows or buildings or are scans of slides, prints, or other published sources. These images have been provided by volunteers and the quality of the material varies widely.

If you have any questions, additions or corrections, or think you can provide better images and are willing to share them, please contact donald20@msu.edu
