Our Father, as the evergreen

Our Father

as the evergreen

Thou art forever new;

Thou art the ever living Lord

Thy freshness as the dew.

O Father

Thou art unchanging

Thou never hast grown old;

Thru countless ages

ever fresh

Thy newness doth unfold.

O Thou art God

and Thou art “new”;

Without Thee all is worn

But all with Thee is ever fresh

Though many years have gone.

Each blessing Thou hast given us

Thy newness doth contain;

Thy covenant

Thy ways are new

And ever thus remain.

Now we Thy new creation are—

New spirit and new heart;

We’re daily from the old renewed

New life Thou dost impart.

The earth and heavens will be new

And Thy new city share;

New fruits each month will be supplied

For all is newness there.

O Father

Thou art ever new

And all is new in Thee;

We sing the new eternal song

New praise we give to Thee.
