Lyrics

God of the Ages and Lord of Creation, /
Refuge and Dwelling of each generation, /
Before the light caused the darkness to vanish /
And mountains rose up, in power established, /
From everlasting unto everlasting /
You are our Father, yes You are our God. /
/
God of the Ages, our ev'ry transgression /
Kindles Your holy and just indignation. /
Our race bears witness of Your perfect justice, /
Lives full of labor slip quickly to darkness. /
Teach us to number the days You have given /
That we might live with a wise, humble heart. /
/
God of the Ages, though judgment is certain, /
In love You sent us Your only begotten– /
Jesus, the righteous, bore sin's dreadful sentence, /
That You might save us by faith and repentance. /
Your works have shown us a grace that amazes, /
Moving Your people to sing of Your love. /
/
God of the Ages, return and have mercy; /
For Your compassion and love we are thirsty. /
May joy and favor in Christ be our blessing /
As You establish the work of our calling. /
You are our Sov'reign and Mighty Sustainer, /
Now and forever our Dwelling secure. /
