In Every Age (Psalm 90) ======================= m: Timothy R. Smith, 1996 [Refrain] In ev'ry age, O Lord, you have been our refuge, you have been our refuge. [Repeat Refrain] [Verse 1] You return us to dust, children of earth back to earth. For in your eyes a thousand years are like a single day: they pass with the swiftness of sleep. [Refrain] [Verse 2] You sweep away the years as sleep passes at dawn, like the grass that springs up in day and is withered by evening. [Refrain] [Verse 3] Teach us to make use of our days and bring wisdom to our hearts. How long, O Lord, before you return? Pity your servants. [Refrain] [Verse 4] Shine your love on us each dawn, and gladden all our days. Let your loveliness shine on us, bless the work of our hands. [Refrain]
