Recessional Hymn 546 O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder Readings for next Sunday (Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King) Ezekiel 34: 11–16, 20–24 Ephesians 1: 15–23 Matthew 25: 31–46 1 2 Lord thou hast ‘ been our ‘ refuge : from one gener’ation ‘ to an’other. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever the earth and the ‘ world were ‘ made : thou art God from ever’lasting and ‘ world without ‘ end. 3 Thou turnest ‘ man . to de’struction : again thou sayest, Come a’gain ye ‘ children of ‘ men. 4 For a thousand years in thy sight ‘ are but as ‘ yesterday : seeing that is ‘ past . as a ‘ watch . in the ‘ night. 5 As soon as thou scatterest them they are ‘ even as a ‘ sleep : and fade away ‘ suddenly ‘ like the ‘ grass. 6 In the morning it is green and ‘ groweth ‘ up : but in the evening it is cut ‘ down dried ‘ up and ‘ withered. 7 For we consume away in ‘ thy dis’pleasure : and are afraid at thy ‘ wrathful ‘ indig’nation. 8 Thou hast set our mis’deeds be’fore thee : and our secret ‘ sins . in the ‘ light of thy ‘ countenance. 9 For when thou art angry all our ‘ days are ‘ gone : we bring our years to an end as it ‘ were a ‘ tale that is ‘ told. 10 The days of our age are threescore years and ten, and though men be so strong that they come to ‘ fourscore ‘ years : yet is their strength then but labour and sorrow, so soon passeth it a’way and ‘ we are ‘ gone. 11 But who regardeth the ‘ power of thy ‘ wrath : for even thereafter as a man feareth ‘ so is ‘ thy dis’pleasure. 12 So teach us to ‘ number our ‘ days : that we may ap’ply our ‘ hearts . unto ‘ wisdom.
