Text:O God, whom neither time nor space
Author:Horace Smith, 1836-1922
Tune:LONDON NEW

82. O God, whom neither time nor space

1 O God, whom neither time nor space
can limit, hold, or bind,
look down from heaven, thy dwelling-place,
with love for humankind.

2 Another year its course has run;
thy loving care renew:
forgive the ill that we have done,
the good we failed to do.

3 In doubt or danger, all our days,
be near to guard us still;
let all our thoughts and all our ways
be governed by thy will.

4 O help us here on earth to live
from selfish passions free;
to us at last in mercy give
eternal life with thee.
