God of eternity! from thee

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #912 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 God of eternity! from thee Did infant time its being draw; Moments and days, and months and years, Revolve by thine unvaried law. 2 Silent and swift they glide away; Steady and strong the current flows, Lost in eternity's wide sea, The boundless gulf from whence it rose. 3 With it the thoughtless sons of men Before the rapid stream are borne On to their everlasting home, Whence not one soul can e'er return. 4 Great Source of wisdom! teach our hearts To know the price of every hour, That time may bear us on to joys Beyond its measure and its power.
