Author: Harriet Auber Appears in 98 hymnals First Line: Ere mountains reared their forms sublime Lyrics: 1 Ere mountains reared their forms sublime,
Or heav'n and earth in order stood;
Before the birth of ancient time,
From everlasting, thou art God.
2 A thousand ages in their flight,
With thee are as a fleeting day;
Past, present, future to thy sight
At once their various scenes display.
3 But our brief life's a shadowy dream,
A passing tho't, that soon is o'er,
That fades with morning's earliest beam,
And fills the musing mind no more.
4 To us, O Lord, the wisdom give
Each passing moment so to spend
That we at length with thee may live,
Where life and bliss shall never end. Topics: Devotional Used With Tune: [Ere mountains reared their forms sublime]
