Author: William C. Doane Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 198 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ancient of Days, who sit enthroned in glory,
To you all knees are bent, all voices pray;
Your love has blessed the wide world's wondrous story
With light and life since Eden's dawning day.
2 O Holy Father, you have led your children
In all the ages, with the fire and cloud,
Through seas dry-shod, through weary wastes bewildering;
To you, in reverent love, our hearts are bowed.
3 O Holy Jesus, Prince of Peace and Savior,
To you we owe the peace that still prevails,
Stilling the rude wills of men's wild behavior,
And calming passion's fierce and stormy gales.
4 O Holy Ghost, the Lord and the Life-giver,
Yours is the quickening power that gives increase;
From you have flowed, as from a pleasant river,
Our heritage, our blessings, and our peace.
5 O Triune God, with heart and voice adoring,
Praise we the goodness that does crown our days;
Pray we that you will hear us, still imploring
Your love and favor, given to us always.
Amen. Topics: Service for the Lord's Day Opening of Worship; Service for the Lord's Day Conclusion of Worship; Christian Year Trinity Sunday Used With Tune: L'OMNIPOTENT
