Text: | Life of ages, richly poured |
Author: | Rev. Samuel Johnson |
Tune: | HORSHAM |
1 Life of ages, richly poured,
Love of God, unspent and free,
Flowing in the prophet’s word,
And the people’s liberty;
2 Breathing in the thinker’s creed;
Pulsing in the hero’s blood;
Nerving simplest thought and deed;
Freshening time with truth and good;
3 Consecrating art and song,
Holy book and pilgrim track;
Hurling floods of tyrant wrong
From the sacred limits back—
4 Life of ages, richly poured,
Love of God, unspent and free,
Flow still in the prophet’s word,
And the people’s liberty!
Amen.
