God's People Keep Singing

This hymn was commissioned for use at the 2005 Conservative Mennonite Teacher's Institute. The theme that year was the passage in Joshua 4 about piling up stones as a memorial of God's work. The author, Darletta Martin, lives in Bedford, Pennsylvania, where she teaches at the Friends Cove Mennonite School. Her other writings include poems, stories, and a recently published biography of her great-grandmother.

Myron Sauder teaches high school English and music at Faith Mennonite High School near his home in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. His other writings include Handbook for Spiritual Hymns (a handbook to the River Brethren hymnal) and The Booklet of Hymns (a sampler from the thousands of Christian hymns written in the twentieth century).
