|
<p>O God, the Rock of Ages,<br>
|
|
Who evermore hast been,<br>
|
|
What time the tempest rages,<br>
|
|
Our dwelling place serene:<br>
|
|
Before Thy first creations,<br>
|
|
O Lord, the same as now,<br>
|
|
To endless generations,<br>
|
|
The everlasting Thou.</p>
|
|
<p>Our years are like the shadows<br>
|
|
On sunny hills that lie,<br>
|
|
Or grasses in the meadows<br>
|
|
That blossom but to die;<br>
|
|
Asleep, a dream, a story<br>
|
|
By strangers quickly told<br>
|
|
And unremaining glory<br>
|
|
Of things that soon are old.</p>
|
|
<p>O Thou, Who dost not slumber,<br>
|
|
Whose light grows never pale,<br>
|
|
Teach us aright to number<br>
|
|
Our years before they fail;<br>
|
|
On us Thy mercy lighten,<br>
|
|
On us Thy goodness rest,<br>
|
|
And let Thy Spirit brighten<br>
|
|
The hearts Thyself hast blessed.</p>
|
|
<p>Lord, crown our faith’s endeavor<br>
|
|
With beauty and with grace,<br>
|
|
Till, clothed in light forever,<br>
|
|
We see Thee face to face:<br>
|
|
A joy no language measures,<br>
|
|
A fountain brimming o’er,<br>
|
|
An endless flow of pleasures,<br>
|
|
An ocean without shore.</p>
