Centennial hymn
One hundred years
One hundred years of worship, a century of truth;
A. hundred years of elders, a century of youth;
A hundred years of sermons, a century of songs;.
A hundred years of learning our life to God belongs.
A hundred years of hoping, a century of feat's;
A hundred years of laughter, a century cif tears;
A hundred years of-battles, a century of lave;
A hundred years 'of sharing the' Gospel's treasure trove.
A hundred years' communion in spite of bruise and scare;
A century's discerning God loves us as we are;
A Rock of countless ages. accept our grateful praise
For what this Congregation has meant throughout its days.
Our village peace is threatened with city hordes and hives;
Our farms are sprouting suburbs, our lanes are hard- topped
drives:
O God who taught our fathers to sense You as they ploughed,
Teach us to know Your presence mid traffic, wealth, • and
crowd.
(Tune: "The Church's One Foundation".)
