Our God Eternal, Reigning

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #806 (1995) Lyrics: 1 Our God eternal, reigning, creation's life sustaining, our refuge and our home; enthroned, in light surrounded, when earth was yet unfounded, the living God, to him we come. 2 We fade, a dream that passes, like withered meadow grasses when summer's sun has shone. Before that face all-seeing of God who gave us being, we pass away and we are gone. 3 O God of mercy, hear us, in steadfast love draw near us, from age to age the same; that we, be grace defended, when earthly days are ended, may live to praise a Savior's name. Topics: Death and Life to Come; Death of Believers; Funeral and memorial service; God--Nature of; God--Protection by Scripture: Psalm 103 Languages: English Tune Title: INNSBRUCK
