Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #803 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Now praise the hidden God of love,
in whom we all must live and move,
who shepherds us, at ev'ry stage,
through youth, maturity, and age:
2 who challenged us, when we were young,
to storm the citadels of wrong;
in care for others taught us how
God's true community must grow:
3 who bids us never lose our zest,
though age is urging us to rest,
but proves to us that we have still
a work to do, a place to fill.
4 Then talk no more of waster time,
but God-ward look, and upward climb,
content to sleep, when day is done,
and rise refreshed, and travel on. Topics: Stages of Life; Encouragement; Journey; Life in Christ; Stages of Life Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:7-10, 12:1-8 Languages: English Tune Title: TALLIS CANON
