A hundred years of praying, A hundred years of song, A hundred years' faith conveying, And all the days were long! A hundred years of fireflies, A hundred years of red roses, A hundred years of marmalade skies, And God's love engrosses! Reverend Hegstrom then, and Pastor Gorder now, The very first unto the last, And also those to follow, Present, future, past. Baptisms, weddings and special celebrations, Through all the fiery sunsets; In God's house, His glorification, And the past never forgets. Here we now celebrate 100 years of bliss At Augustana Lutheran Church of Hyde Park, And we feel the thrill of His kiss, And witness the skyward lark!

I wrote this poem years ago, to mark my church's centennial celebration. Thank you for your delightful comments!
