Tune: St Margaret
('O love that wilt not let me go')
Psalm 102 v.25-38
********
Of old, LORD, you have laid foundation
Of the earth, formed every nation
The heavens are work of your hands
You LORD of all peoples and lands
Great things by you are done
Earth and heavens they shall perish
But you eternally refresh
You shall endure, continue ever
Subject to age and decay ne'er
Yet you your works cherish
They all shall grow old as garment
As coat or cloak fading or rent* (*torn)
You shall change them, they shall be changed
In your purposes thus unfeigned
Grace to us you have sent
But you are the same, and your years
Shall have no end, your power appears
The children of your servants shall
Continue, descendants fare well
Set firm in godly fears
