Long before the mountains came to be
And the land and sea and stars of the night
Through the endless seasons of all time
You have always been
You will always be
In every age, O God, you have been our refuge
In every age, O God, you have been our hope
Destiny is cast, and at your silent word
We return to dust and scatter to the wind
A thousand years are like a single moment gone
As the light that fades
At the end of day
In every age, O God, you have been our refuge
In every age, O God, you have been our hope
Teach us to make use of the time we have
Teach us to be patient even as we wait
Teach us to embrace our every joy and pain
To sleep peacefully
And to rise up strong
In every age, O God, you have been our refuge
In every age, O God, you have been our hope
In every age, O God, you have been our refuge
In every age, O God, you have been our hope
You have been our refuge
You have been our hope
