O God, the Rock of Ages

Author: Edward H. Bickersteth Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 201 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God, the Rock of Ages, Who evermore hast been, What time the tempest rages, Our dwelling-place serene; Before Thy first creations, O Lord, the same as now, To endless generations The Everlasting Thou! To endless generations The Everlasting Thou! 2. Our years are like the shadows O'er sunny hills that fly, Or grasses in the meadows That blossom but to die: A sleep, a dream, a story By strangers quickly told, An unremaining glory Of things that soon are old, An unremaining glory Of things that soon are old. 3. O Thou, who canst not slumber, Whose light grows never pale, Teach us aright to number Our years before they fail. On us Thy mercy lighten, On us Thy goodness rest, And let Thy Spirit brighten The hearts Thyself hast blest, And let Thy Spirit brighten The hearts Thyself hast blest.

Author: Rev. John M. Neale Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: 1. All is bright and cheerful round us; All above is soft and blue; Spring at last hath come and found us, Spring and all its pleasures too. Ev'ry flow'r is full of gladness; Dew is bright, and buds are gay; Earth, with all its sin and sadness, Seems a happy place today. 2. If the flow'rs that fade so quickly, If a day that ends in night, If the skies that cloud so thickly Often cover from our sight,-- If they all have so much beauty, What must be God's land of rest, Where His sons that do their duty, After many toils, are blest? 3. There are leaves that never wither; There are flow'rs that ne'er decay; Nothing evil goeth thither; Nothing good is kept away, They that came from tribulation, Washed their robes and made them white, Out of ev'ry tongue and nation, Now have rest and peace and light.

Welcome and dear unto my soul Are these sweet feasts of love; But what a Sabbath shall I keep When I shall rest above, When I shall rest above. 3 I bless Thy wise and wondrous love, Which binds us to be free; Which makes us leave our earthly snares, That we may come to Thee.
