We commissioned Judith Snowdon, a WICC past president, to compose a hymn to celebrate WICC’s 100th Anniversary. Today, you can hear it and sing with us. If you are planning an event and wish to use the hymn, you can also download the sheet music.
We thank the Pembroke Community Choir, Gerald LaRonde and Darlene TerMarsch for their time and talents.
A fine composition and presentation. I really enjoyed it as an encapsulation of WICC’s work… but, a question. Did your commissioning arrangement with Judith Snowden allow for full performance rights? Can we, church and public, freely sing the hymn and, if so, where can we find the lyrics and music?
Hello, Martin.
Thank you for your kind words and your excellent question.
Yes, please contact us and we will send you the music and lyrics. (If you will be singing the hymn for a special gathering, we would love to know about it.)
What a beautiful song.
Congratulations on singing it so well.
Thanks for checking in, Glenda! And thanks for your encouraging words. Were you singing along?
Congratulations WICC on the anniversary song. I was blessed to sit on WICC’s Council when Judith Snowden was our esteemed President. We benefitted from her talents at rhe end of the evening with singalongs! 🎹🎼🎤
Hello, Eleanor!
We are delighted that you stopped by our site for a visit. We are more aware than ever of the thousands of women who have carried WICC to this 100th Anniversary and the joy many of them continue to share with us.
thank you for this touching hymn ; thank you, too , for all your efforts
We are so glad you like it, Virginia! Thank you.
Beautiful song for the 100th. anniversary, and very well done!
Thanks, Mary Ellen!
Excellent composition, love it! Very well sung by the Pembroke Community Choir.
We will sing it here in Maxville at our World Day of Prayer.
Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful, Jeannie! Thank you.
Judith is so talented and this song does not disappoint one at all–beautiful, heartfelt words. I, too, sat at WICC when Judith was the president and appreciated all the wisdom and skill she brought with her.
Is she available for talking engagements?
Hello, Norma!
Thanks for connecting with us here and on our Facebook page.
We will have to leave Judith’s speaking engagements to Judith but we know her song will be sung at WICC 100th Anniversary celebrations. There are two events in our neck of the woods: one here in Toronto and (if you are up for a little more of a drive) one in Pembroke, ON. We hope to be singing along with you ate one of these events.
Blessings,
The WICC Team
Beautiful as ever Judith!!

We hope they will bless many.
God’s peace,
The WICC Team
