Forevermore

Let us put off our stubborn youth,
And receive God’s word as truth.
The Lord our God reigns from above;
He reaches down with mercy and love.

It is good and pleasant, my son,
When god’s people live as one.
In our hearts the Lord is feared,
As anointing oil runs down our beard.

As it ran down Aaron’s beard of old;
Down the collar of his robe, I’m told.
Like the dew of heaven it is falling,
As we heed our Master’s calling.

Blessings of the Lord abounds,
Trumpets and gongs resounds,
Rejoice pain and sorrows are no more;
Christ came to give life forevermore.
