An anthem, originally a form of liturgical music, is a musical composition of celebration. Anthems are usually used as a symbol or identity for a particular group. Furthermore, in a religious context, it also refers to short sacred choral work.
The Basel Mission, a Protestant missionary organization from Basel, Switzerland, played a significant role in the spread of Christianity in Cameroon during the colonial era. Below is the video:
Anthem lyrics
Below are the PCC Anthem lyrics:
With us in mind a better plan, he had
Alone he knew the secret plans he made
His secret plans and promises he keeps
Even when centuries pass
Alone he knew the secret plans he made
Even when centuries pass
Chorus
Praise the Lord (praise the Lord)
Praise the Lord (praise the Lord)
Who takes care of you
Praise the Lord (praise the Lord)
Praise the Lord (praise the Lord)
Who takes care of you
His secret plans and promises he keeps
Even when centuries pass.
Your plans, our God, are good for all You made
Our future hope may we on earth achieve
To plan on earth your word in all you made
Even when all things seem hard
A song of praise to you we sing, Lord God
Our God and Father, King of Kings and Lord
For you have blessed us with the plans you made
Even though all things seem hard.
