Anniversary Song
May 14th, 2007As a congregation, we are learning one of the songs written for the 150th anniversary of the Christian Reformed Church. We sang the song “One Generation Will Call to the Next” this past Sunday for the first time, led by the worship team. The words are included below. If you’d like to view or print the music copy of the song, or listen to an MP3 version, they are posted on the website of the Christian Reformed Church of North America at this address: http://crcna.org/pages/sesqui_hymn.cfm (along with the other songs written for the anniversary). It was very meaningful to sing as a congregation about how God has blessed us and how we can praise him as families and part of the larger church of Christ, especially on Mother’s Day and after hearing Pastor Daryl’s sermon about passing on our faith to the next generation!

1. We will extol our God and King
and bless your holy name.
Day after day we’ll sing your praise,
forever and forever.
Chorus: One generation will call to the next:
“Our God is good, and his hand is strong!”
All of the world sings his marvellous acts,
and our voice will join with theirs in the song.
2. Great is the Lord! In all his ways
he’s greatly to be praised.
Were we to search for endless days,
his greatness none could fathom. Chorus:
3. We contemplate the splendour of
the world your hand has made.
Far greater still the majesty
we see in the Creator! Chorus:
4. Now may your name be sung in every
tongue in every place.
Singing the fame of your great love
in every generation. Chorus:
