Ere Mountains Reared Their Forms Sublime

Author: Harriet Auber, 1773-1862 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 99 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Ere mountains reared their forms sublime, Or Heav’n and earth in order stood, Before the birth of ancient time, From everlasting Thou art God. 2. A thousand ages, in their flight, With Thee are as a fleeting day; Past, present, future, to Thy sight At once their various scenes display. 3. But our brief life’s a shadowy dream, A passing thought that soon is o’er, That fades with morning’s earliest beam, And fills the musing mind no more. 4. To us, O Lord, the wisdom give Each passing moment so to spend, That we at length with Thee may live Where life and bliss shall never end. Used With Tune: HAMBURG
