2 Our years are like the shadows
On sunny hills that lie, Or grasses in the meadows
That blossom but to die: A sleep, a dream, a story
By strangers quickly told, An unremaining glory
Of things that soon are old.
3 O Thou, Who canst not slumber,
Whose light grows never pale, Teach us aright to number Our years before they fail. |
On us Thy mercy lighten, On us Thy goodness rest,
And let Thy Spirit brighten
The hearts Thyself hast blessed.
4 Lord, crown our faith's endeavor
With beauty and with grace, Till, clothed in light for ever,
We see Thee face to face: A joy no language measures;
A fountain brimming o'er; An endless flow of pleasures;
An ocean without shore.
Bishop Edward H. Bickersteth, 1866 |
