Eternal God Transcending Time

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #59 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Eternal God transcending time, yet mindful of the fears, the hopes, the questions raised for us by ever-changing years: so guide us through our pilgrim days that we may find a home where justice, truth, and mercy meet, fulfilled in your shalom. 2 Incarnate God revealed in time, true Word in flesh retold, who marked the years from birth to death, then rose to break death's hold: by your becoming one with us, help us to know and claim the unity of all baptized in your redeeming name. 3 Life-breathing God enliv'ning time, awaking heart and tongue, inspiring prophets, bringing hope, consoling old and young: draw us to those denied your gifts by bias, want, or strife, convert our wills and form through us new channels of your life. 4 Great Triune God, so bless the time entrusted to our care, that all our varied ministries may form a common prayer; then when time ceases, bring us where divisions are undone, that in your presence, joined in praise, at last we may be one.
