Timeless Not Temporal

orchidee



Tune: Wiltshire

('Through all the changing scenes of life')

Psalm 102 v.25-28

**********

Of old, LORD God, 'tis you have laid

Foundations of earth staid

Heavens, they the work of your hands

creator of all lands

 

They shall perish, but you endure

Continue evermore

They all shall as garment grow old

Become dead, barren, cold

 

As a coat you shall change then, they

Do have no lasting day

They shall be changed as you ordain

You shall make your ways plain

 

But you, LORD, are the same, and your

Years have no end for sure

The chidlren of your servants shall

Go on and prosper well
