7. God of the Ages

1 God of the ages, whose almighty hand
leads forth in beauty all the starry band
of shining worlds in splendor through the skies,
our grateful songs before thy throne arise.

2 Thy love divine hath led us in the past;
in every land by thee our lot is cast;
be thou our Ruler, Guardian, Guide, and Stay,
thy word our law, thy path our chosen way.

3 Refresh thy people on their toilsome way;
lead us from night to never-ending day;
fill all our lives with love and grace divine,
and glory, laud, and praise be ever thine.
