16--Our Father, as the evergreen,

Our Father, as the evergreen,

16

	1.	Our Father, as the evergreen,
		Thou art forever new;
		Thou art the ever living Lord,
		Thy freshness as the dew.
		O Father, Thou art unchanging,
		Thou never hast grown old;
		Thru countless ages, ever fresh,
		Thy newness doth unfold.
	2.	O Thou art God, and Thou art "new";
		Without Thee all is worn,
		But all with Thee is ever fresh,
		Though many years have gone.
	3.	Each blessing Thou hast given us
		Thy newness doth contain;
		Thy covenant, Thy ways are new,
		And ever thus remain.
	4.	Now we Thy new creation are
		New spirit and new heart;
		We're daily from the old renewed,
		New life Thou dost impart.
	5.	The earth and heavens will be new
		And Thy new city share;
		New fruits each month will be supplied,
		For all is newness there.
	6.	O Father, Thou art ever new,
		And all is new in Thee;
		We sing the new eternal song,
		New praise we give to Thee.
