As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 548.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
