God of the Ages, by Whose Hand
Author: Elisabeth Burrowes Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of the ages, by whose hand
Through years long past our lives were led,
Give us new courage now to stand,
New faith to find the paths ahead.
2 You are the thought beyond all thought,
The gift beyond our utmost prayer;
No farthest reach where you are not,
No height but we may find you there.
3 Lift up our hearts and set us free
From wild alarms and trembling fears;
In your strong hand eternally
Rests the unfolding of the years.
4 Though there be dark, uncharted space
With worlds on worlds beyond our sight,
Still may we trust your love and grace
And wait your word, "Let there be light."
