Anniversary Hymn (Gibson)

Thy people

Lord

through­out all time

In tra­vel­ing down the path of life

Beheld the Star—the Son sub­lime

And trem­bled not at com­ing strife

And trem­bled not at com­ing strife.

Through trou­bled years in strug­gles oft

This Church has lift­ed up her voice

’Mid deep dis­tress

she looked aloft

And found con­tent­ment in her choice

And found con­tent­ment in her choice.

We lift to Thee—O

sov­er­eign Lord

Our lof­ti­est notes in grate­ful song;

May com­ing hosts in sweet ac­cord

The an­them swell—the praise pro­long

The an­them swell—the praise pro­long.

Wide circ­ling as Thy sov­er­eign light

So let our in­spir­ations be

With Thee to dwell—su­preme de­light

In time and in eter­ni­ty

In time and in eter­ni­ty.
