The Haystack Song

In Honor of the 200th Anniversary of the Haystack Prayer Meeting

Tune: This Little Light of Mine

Words: Rev. Dr. Rick Russell

200 years ago,

On a Williams College farm,
Five students met to pray,
And then the rains came down,
They hurried to a haystack’s cover,
And God’s Spirit gathered round.

Let it shine, Let it shine, Let it shine

We celebrate the Haystack Meeting
So many years ago,
Called to wider mission,
We answer, “Let us go!”
Sent to live the Good News,
More light for all to know

Let it shine, Let it shine, Let it shine
