Anniversary Hymn

Sung to the tune of Amazing Grace

For ninety years the Grace of God,
Is present in this place.
We feel His love, His strength, and might.
His fortress we embrace.
 
We thank You God.  We give You praise.
We worship You this day.
We ask that You would bless Your home,
As we gather here and pray.
 
We honor those who built with care,
This shelter in life’s storm.
We bless their souls.  Let us rejoice,
The day this church was born.
 
Come gather one.  Come gather all.
Come find the Truth and Light.
God fills us with abundant Grace,
And makes each future bright.
 
About this Hymn The words to “Ninety Years Blessed by Grace” were written by Gail McKillop in celebration of the 90th anniversary of Ascension Lutheran Church, Shelby, NC.  The hymn was introduced by Ascension’s Anniversary Choir, led by Mrs. McKillop, as the anthem of the day on Sunday, Jan. 20, 2013, at a worship service commemorating the founding of the congregation. The congregation’s anniversary is March 23, 1923.
