  1.  Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place;
         From all eternity.
      Ere ever mountains were brought forth
         Thou art our God forever.
      Who knows Thy pow'r, who knows Thy wrath,
         Which of us dreads Thine anger?
      O Thou Eternal, give us grace;
         Make us glad that we may rejoice.

  2.  Our days are three-score years and ten,
         Or at the best four-score.
      Even as Thou afflicted us, 
         So make us glad, Eternal.
      We were consum'd by Thy great wrath;
         Our sins were bare before Thee.
      Teach us, O God, to count our days,
         That Your wisdom may fill our hearts.

  3.  O Thou Eternal, give us peace;
         O God, return to us.
      Now let thy work appear, O God,
         Thy beauty be upon us.
      Let us rejoice, let us be glad;
         Thy mercy be upon us;
      Show us Your loving kindnesses,
         That we may once again rejoice.
