You Have Been Our Dwelling, Lord

VERSE 1:
You have been our dwelling,
Lord, from age to age,
God of all creation,
Author of each page.
We, from dust created,
fly, like dust, away,
but a thousand ages
are to You a day.

CHORUS:
God from everlasting;
endless is Your reign.
Let Your praises rise up
from our hearts again!

VERSE 2:
Every morning springs forth
bright, a shining day.
Evening comes; as grass, the
light, it fades away.
Brought low by Your anger,
by Your wrath dismayed;
all our sins recorded,
in Your light displayed.

CHORUS:
God from everlasting;
endless is Your reign.
Let Your praises rise up
from our hearts again!

VERSE 3:
All our years, they vanish
as a fading sigh;
labor in our sorrow,
then away we fly.
Why can know Your power?
Who shall fear Your name?
Teach us to live rightly,
giving You acclaim.

CHORUS:
God from everlasting;
endless is Your reign.
Let Your praises rise up
from our hearts again!

VERSE 4:
How long shall we languish?
Come for us, our King!
Shed on us Your mercies,
that our hearts may sing.
Change our curse to blessing;
labors of our hands,
let them be established;
cause our works to stand.

CHORUS:
God from everlasting;
endless is Your reign.
Let Your praises rise up
from our hearts again!
