God of the Ages
Margaret Clarkson, 1981
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.
