548   Now Praise the Hidden God of Love




[1]
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.
