              THERE IS A CHURCH
         
               50th Anniversary Hymn
         
                Tune:  Love Divine
         
         There's a church on western plains
         Trondhjem is it's given name.
         It was built to serve Lord Jesus,
         And served fifty years The Same.
         On the sea of worldly struggle
         Stands her spire like a mast,
         Proud that she could guide souls weary
         For the fifty years that have passed.
         
         She has watched through joy and through sorrow
         She still stands for all that is right.
         Though each day her walls are aging..
         She will guide our steps aright.
         But this church, this servant of Jesus
         Is not satisfied, it seems
         To serve God a hundred years
         Now is Trondhjem's prayerful dream.
