Long as our lives, this tale is told,
God’s goodness cloth to all unfold
For unto all
The seasons call
Hearts now to heed His promise bold.
Long as our lives, upon the throne
The Saviour lives to bless His own:
And children dear
May year by year
Prove His great love ere life is flown.
Long as salvation’s day, God’s grace
Flows out to all who now abase
Themselves to Christ,
Whose blood unpriced
Cleanses, and gives in heaven a place.
Longer than life, eternally,
The joys of God shall ever be;
And they are blest
Who share His rest,
Who in His Son their Saviour see.
