Excerpt from Centennial, Presbytery of Newton: An Adjourned Meeting, in the First Presbyterian Church, Washington, N. J. The Historical Narrative, Histories of the Churches and Other Data Jubilee Hymn (Written for, and sung at, Semi-Centennial) Tune - Regent Square, No. 90 Hymnal. Come, thou gracious King of Glory, In this hour of jubilee; Whilst we tell the grateful story Of past mercies wrought by Thee, Be thou present (be thou present), Bid us now thy glory see. Bow thine ear, God of our Fathers, To our glowing songs of praise, Warming still as mem'ry gathers Grateful themes from other days; Lord, we praise thee (Lord, we praise thee), For thy grace in bygone days. Thanks that o'er these vales Thou'st planted Many a fair and fruitful vine; Glorious rain and sunshine granted, Hedged them round and called them Thine, Gathering from them (gathering from them) Clustering grapes and generous wine. May this vineyard ever flourish, May abundant fruits be given; Gracious Lord, these churches nourish, With the light and dew of Heaven; Till in glory (till in glory), "Jubilee!" they shout in Heaven. - Rev.
