CENTENARY JUBILEE HYMN
(Written in celebration of the Centenary by the Rev.E.Wyn Parry)
....................................................................................
Tune Pen-yr-Yrfa
Our Father, we Thy people
Are gathered here today
Wilt Thou Thy Gracious Presence
Among us now display.
Our hearts are full of gladness
We lift them up to Thee,
We ask Thy Benediction
Upon our Jubilee.
The passing years are numbered
And changes there have been;
But thou hast been unchanging
Through many a changing scene
Thou wast our Father's Fortress
In Thee they lived and died,
We too thy children trust Thee
And in Thy care abide.
We praise Thee for the Witness
Maintained these hundred years;
Our Fathers have been faithful
Mid storm and strife and fears;
We, in our generation
Would tread the path they trod,
And never shrink from duty,
From loving Man and God.
O lead us Heavenly Father
Into the paths of peace;
May kindness and forbearance
Among us all increase;
Spread forth Thy glorious Gospel
That all the world may see
The coming of Thy Kingdom -
Thy Blessed Jubilee.(Rev.E.Wyn Parry)
................................................................................
Other hymns: Full words printed in original.
Love divine, all love excelling
Spirit of Wisdom, turn our eyes
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
From all that dwell below the skies
Now thank we all our God
King of Glory, King of Peace
The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want
Hark, the Song of Jubilee
Great God of Wonders! all Thy ways
Once to every man and nation
When I survey the wondrous Cross
City of God, how broad and far

The Editors wish to acknowledge with thanks all those who have assisted in the compilation of this Centenary Booklet. In particular the writers of the accounts of the respective Churches, and Mr J. Bowley for the Biblical Text on Cover design. Our sincere apologies are tendered to those whose script was somewhat drastically treated, but "space" was our controlling factor. It has given us great joy to assist in the work; it is our hope that it will prove a source of pleasure and a fount of inspiration to many.
