Hymns - Ere Mountains Reared Their Forms Sublime - Текст песни

Ere mountains reared their forms sublime,
Or Heav???n and earth in order stood,
Before the birth of ancient time,
From everlasting Thou art God.

A thousand ages, in their flight,
With Thee are as a fleeting day;
Past, present, future, to Thy sight
At once their various scenes display.

But our brief life???s a shadowy dream,
A passing thought that soon is o???er,
That fades with morning???s earliest beam,
And fills the musing mind no more.

To us, O Lord, the wisdom give
Each passing moment so to spend,
That we at length with Thee may live
Where life and bliss shall never end.
