Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Dwelling Place (EN 1379)

EN 1379 Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Dwelling Place

Ps.90.1

Versi Version 1

1

Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place

Through all the ages of our race;

Before the mountains had their birth,

Or Thou hadst formed the earth;

From everlasting Thou art God,

To everlasting our abode.

2

Man soon yields up his fleeting breath

Before the swelling tide of death;

Like transient sleep his seasons pass,

His life is like the tender grass,

Luxuriant ’neath the morning sun

And withered ere the day is done.

3

Man in Thine anger is consumed,

And unto grief and sorrow doomed;

Before Thy clear and searching sight

Our secret sins are brought to light;

Beneath Thy wrath we pine and die,

Our life expiring like a sigh.

4

For threescore years and ten we wait,

Or fourscore years if strength be great;

But grief and toil attend life’s day,

And soon our spirits fly away;

O who with true and reverent thought

Can fear Thine anger as he ought?

5

O teach Thou us to count our days

And set our hearts on wisdom’s ways

Turn, Lord, to us in our distress

In pity now Thy servants bless;

Let mercy’s dawn dispel our night,

And all our day with joy be bright.

6

O send the day of joy and light,

For long has been our sorrow’s night;

Afflicted through the weary years,

We wait until Thy help appears;

In all Thy children Thou abide,

In us let God be glorified.

7

So let there be on us bestowed

The beauty of the Lord our God;

The work accomplished by our hand

Establish Thou, and make it stand;

Yea, let our hopeful labor be

Established evermore by Thee.
