Pantoum for St. John’s Church
The church was strengthened in its faith and grew larger every day
We drew nearer and for one hundred years sang His praise to prove our faith
We lifted our hearts and opened our ears to understand what He would say
Our faith came from hearing the Good News; His fate lifted our weight
The church, our hearth to draw nearer, to sing praise, and to show faith
God’s flock – His church purchased with spilling His own blood
The Good News of His sacrifice will bless all of our days
Vouchsafe your flock a century more, come plague or come flood
The Shepherd leads us through the dark in times of great despair
What joy is ours! Everything thing in us celebrates
Tomorrow brings blessed days because our burden his shoulders bear
A century full of love so grand, our souls elevate
Celebrate this day from generation to generation
The future of this Temple is greater than its past
One hundred loving years to His name our adoration
Showers of blessings flood to create a foundation that lasts
The future of this Temple will be greater than its past
There will be hope for our future. The future will be in our hands
Creating a foundation to enter the Kingdom that will be vast
We will march into tomorrow in reverie with triumphant bands
A century more is in our future. The future is in our hands
Our mouths will be open for one hundred years, to Jesus Christ we shall pray
Mouths singing out in reverie, hearts beating like triumphant bands
The church is strengthened in its faith and grows larger every day
