Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #25 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Lord has heard and answered prayer
And saved his people in distress;
This to the coming age declare,
That they his holy Name may bless.
2 The Lord, exalted on his throne,
Looked down from heav'n with pitying eye
To still the lowly captive's moan
And save his people doomed to die.
3 All men in Zion shall declare
His gracious Name with one accord,
When kings and nations gather there
To serve and worship God the Lord.
4 Before my journey is complete
My vigor fails, my years decline;
My God, O spare me, I entreat;
The days of life are wholly thine.
5 The earth and heav'ns shall pass away,
Like vesture worn and laid aside,
But changeless thou shalt live for aye,
Thy years for ever shall abide.
6 Thou, O Jehovah, shalt endure,
Thy throne for ever is the same;
And to all generations sure
Shall be thy great memorial Name.
7 Thy servants' children shall remain
For evermore before thy face;
Enduring honor they shall gain,
Established ever in thy grace.
