God of the Ages

As this new year dawns upon us, let us remember our God of the ages, our God who is everlasting, who was and who is and who is to come.

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

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

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

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
