In Every Age

[Intro]
F#m
D E A
D E F#m
[Verse]
F#m D E A
Long before the mountains came to be
D E F#m
and the land and sea and stars of the night,
D E A
through the endless seasons of all time,
Bm
you have always been,
E
you will always be.
[Refrain]
D E A
In ev’ry age, O God, you have been our refuge.
D E F#m
In ev’ry age, O God, you have been our hope.
[Verse]
D E A
Destiny is cast, and at your silent word
D E F#m
we return to dust and scatter to the wind.
D E A
A thousand years are like a single moment gone,
Bm
as the light that fades
E
at the end of day.
[Repeat Refrain]
[Verse]
D E A
Teach us to make use of the time we have.
D E F#m
Teach us to be patient even as we wait.
D E A
Teach us to embrace our ev’ry joy and pain.
Bm
To sleep peacefully,
E
and to rise up strong.
[Repeat Refrain]
D
You have been our refuge
E F#m
You have been our hope.
