10039. From Age To Age Exalt His Name

1 From age to age exalt His name;
God and His grace are still the same;
He fills the hungry soul with food,
And feeds the poor with every good.

2 But if their hearts rebel and rise
Against the God that rules the skies,
If they reject His heav’nly Word
And slight the counsels of the Lord;

3 He’ll bring their spirits to the ground,
And no deliverer shall be found;
Laden with grief, they waste their breath
In darkness and the shades of death.

4 Then to the Lord they raise their cries;
He makes the dawning light arise,
And scatters all that dismal shade
That hung so heavy round their head.

5 He cuts the bars of brass in two,
And lets the smiling prisoners through;
Takes off the load of guilt and grief,
And gives the laboring soul relief.

6 O may the sons of men record
The wondrous goodness of the Lord!
How great His works! how kind His ways!
Let every tongue pronounce His praise.
