Be-neath the sha-dow of Thy  throne

Before the hills in order  stood,

To endless years the same.

And turn to earth again.

A  thousand a - ges in Thy  sight

Short as the watch that ends the night

Be - fore the rising sun.

Time like an ev - er-rolling  stream
G/B           Em    A7   D
Bears all its sons  a -  way;

They fly  for – gotten as a dream
G    C       D      G
Dies at the op’ning day.
