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
