Class of 2018 - Graduation Scripture
The Class of 2018 has selected Psalm 126:2-3 as their class verse.
Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations, "The Lord has done great things for them."
The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.
Then it was said among the nations, "The Lord has done great things for them."
The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.

Graduation Song
The Greatness of the Lord 1. I will bless the Lord forever, And his praise each day I’ll sing. I will glory in the Lord. Let the humble hear his voice, with us rejoice in his love. Proclaim with me the greatness of the Lord. 2. In the dark of night, I am not afraid, For the Lord will hold me safe. And the Angel of the Lord will surround us in our sadness, give us gladness in his love. Proclaim with me the greatness of the Lord. 3. Taste and see that the Lord is good. Happy are they who trust in him. Come, children now and listen, Let the radiance of your face tell of his grace and of his love. Proclaim with me the greatness of the Lord. |
