The Church At Isle au Haut is the name of a song written by Harold S. van Doren, Sr. in 1959 and can be found in the back of hymnals in Isle au Haut Congregational Church on Isle au Haut (an island in Maine, USA). The song is sung to the tune of "The Son of God Goes Forth to War". The Church At Isle au Haut Out on Penobscot's azure bay there stands an emerald isle Where God in His kind providence ordains that nature smile For trees and bowers, birds and flowers, the sea and all below Their anthems bring with those who praise in church at Isle au Haut.

Though from afar we congregate to spend our summer days Our creeds and dogmas, faiths and sects unite in common praise To God alone who from His throne His blessings will bestow On all who worship in His house, the church at Isle au Haut.

When from this island paradise we finally depart Our thoughts return, again, again and rapture fills the heart To contemplate the peace of mind that only those can know Who come to worship in His house, the church at Isle au Haut.
