st. 1 = Ps. 90:1

Written by Marie J. Post (PHH 5) in 1979 for the profession of faith of her daughter Meredith, this text was first published in the 1987 Psalter Hymnal.

The text expresses thanks to God for his leading in past years (st. 1), for his presence in our lives today by his Word (st. 2), and for hope of blessing in future years (st. 3). As" we sing, we address the God of yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and we dedicate ourselves to his service.

Liturgical Use:
Profession of faith; sermon response; hymn of dedication; for worship that focuses on the family; Reformation services; church anniversaries; graduation ceremonies (from schools or church classes).
