Two stanzas of this hymn were written by me for this service. The two stanzas were written to introduce the next element of the service, the recognition and honoring of former Orrville staff. The custom stanzas are as follows:
"In hundred year-long journey
the church has shared His word
through faithful righteous servants
through those He called to serve.
God sent them for a season
In times for such as these
Through love and Christ-like service
They toiled and sought to lead."
"God’s church shall never perish!
The Lord shall sure defend,
Shall guide, sustain and cherish,
Be with her to the end.
Some day when all creation
Shall bow before His throne
They’ll know the one foundation
Is Christ and Christ alone!"
