God of Our Life

lyricist: Hugh Kerr, 1916
Composer: Charles Purday, 1857

God of our life

Through all the circ­ling years

We trust in Thee;

In all the past

Through all our hopes and fears

Thy hand we see.

With each new day

When morn­ing lifts the veil

We own Thy mer­cies

Lord

Which nev­er fail.

God of the past

Our times are in Thy hand;

With us abide.

Lead us by faith

To hope’s true pro­mised land;

Be Thou our guide.

With Thee to bless

The dark­ness shines as light

And faith’s fair vi­sion

Changes in­to sight.

God of the com­ing years

Through paths un­known

We fol­low Thee;

When we are strong

Lord

Leave us not alone;

Our re­fuge be.

Be Thou for us

In life our dai­ly bread

Our heart’s true home

When all our years have sped.
