on Psalm 90

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

on Psalm 90

The everlasting God: through all,
his people’s sure abode;
but mortal men have transient life,
and bear a guilty load.

You scan the generations, we
should think how brief our years,
and gain a heart of wisdom, ask
that joy replace our tears.

Relent, and have compassion, Lord,
you see each hidden sin,
and must afflict, rebuke – in love
now peace and mercy bring.

Show us the splendour of your ways,
and teach us how to serve.
May others, through your work in us,
your beauty, grace observe. 

Tune: CM
