IN EVERY AGE
Long before the mountains came to be
And the land and sea and stars of night,
Through the endless seasons of all time,
You have always been,
You will always be.
In every age, O God, you have been our refuge.
In every age, O God, you have been our hope.
Destiny is cast,
And at your silent word we return to dust
And scatter to the wind.
A thousand years are like a single moment gone,
As the light that fades at the end of day.
Teach us to make use of the time we have.
Teach us to be patient even as we wait.
Teach us to embrace our every joy and pain.
To sleep peacefully, and to rise up strong.
