God of the Ages

by Margaret Clarkson

To the tune of Morning Has Broken…

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 the 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.
