The Lord of Earth and Sky

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3926 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1. The Lord of earth and sky, The God of ages, praise, Who reigns enthroned on high, Ancient of endless days, Who lengthens out our trial here, And spares us yet another year. 2. Barren and withered trees, We cumbered long the ground, No fruits of holiness On our dead souls were found: Yet doth He us in mercy spare Another and another year. 3. When justice bared the sword, To cut the fig tree down, The pity of our Lord, Cried, Let it still alone; The Father mild inclines His ear, And spares us yet another year. 4. Jesus, Thy speaking blood From God obtained the grace Who therefore hath bestowed On us a longer space; Thou didst on our behalf appear, And lo, we see another year! 5. Then dig about our root, Break up the fallow ground, And let our gracious fruit To Thy great praise abound; O let us all Thy praise declare, And fruit unto perfection bear!
