Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Eternity of God Lyrics: 1 The Lord has heard and answered prayer
And saved His people in distress;
This to the coming age declare,
That they His holy Name may bless.
2 The Lord, exalted on His throne,
Looked down from heaven with pitying eye
To still the lowly captive’s moan
And save His people doomed to die.
3 All men in Zion shall declare
His gracious Name with one accord,
When kings and nations gather there
To serve and worship God the Lord.
4 Before my journey is complete
My vigor fails, my years decline;
My God, O spare me, I entreat;
The days of life are wholly Thine.
5 Attend, O Lord, to my desire,
O haste to answer when I pray,
For grief consumes my strength like fire,
My days as smoke pass swift away.
6 O cut not short my life's brief day,
O Thou whose years eternal run,
Thou who didst earth's foundations lay,
Creator of the stars and sun.
7 The earth and heavens shall pass away,
Like vesture worn and laid aside,
But changeless Thou shalt live for aye,
Thy years forever shall abide.
8 Thou, O Jehovah, shalt endure,
Thy throne forever is the same;
And to all generations sure
Shall be Thy great memorial Name.
9 Thy servants’ children shall remain
Forevermore before Thy face;
Enduring honor they shall gain,
Established ever in Thy grace. Scripture: Psalm 102 Used With Tune: REST
