Now praise the hidden God of love
In
whom we all must live and move,
Who
shepherds us, at every stage
Thro'
youth, maturity, and age.
2
Who
challenged us, when were young
To
storm the citadels of wrong;
In
care for others taught us how
God's
true community must grow.
3
Who
bids us never lose our zest,
Tho'
age is urging us to rest,
But
proves to us that we have still
A
work to do, a place to fill.
4
Then
talk no more of wasted time,
But
Godward look, and upward climb,
Content
to sleep, when day is done,
And
rise refreshed, and travel on.
