O God, Above the Drifting Years (EN 660)

EN 660 O God, Above the Drifting Years

Ps.22.4

Versi Version 1

1

O God, above the drifting years,

The shrines our fathers founded stand,

And where the higher gain appears,

We trace the working of Thy hand.

2

From out their tireless prayer and toil

Emerge the gifts that time has proved,

And seed laid deep in sacred soil,

Yields harvests rich in lasting good.

3

The torch of their devotion lent,

Lightens the dark that round us lies;

Help us to pass it on unspent,

Until the dawn lights up the skies.

4

Form Thou our hearts with faith like theirs,

Who served the days they could not see,

And give us grace, through ampler years,

To build the kingdom yet to be.
