God of the Ages by Margaret Clarkson

1 God of the ages,
history's Maker,
planning our pathway,
holding us fast,
shaping in mercy
all that concerns us:
Father, we praise you,
Lord of the past.


2 God of this morning,
gladly your children
worship before you,
trustingly bow;
teach us to know you
always among us,
quietly sovereign--
Lord of our now.


3 God of tomorrow,
strong overcomer,
princes of darkness
own your command:
what then can harm us?
We are your people,
now and forever
kept by your hand.


4 Lord of past ages,
Lord of this morning,
Lord of the future,
help us, we pray:
teach us to trust you,
love and obey you,
crown you each moment,
Lord of today!
