About this hymn

Psalm 90 is Moses' prayer. It begins, “Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.” (Psalm 90:1), before speaking of human life as grass. The order matters. Standing first in the eternal one lets us face our brevity without sinking into meaninglessness. This song follows the same path. It suits year-end services and funerals, the two occasions when people can feel most weighed down by time. The description “who is and who was and who is to come” (Revelation 1:8) is another foundation. There is no need to hurry when leading it; a theme like this needs room to breathe.

When to use this hymn

Year-end and New Year services, funerals and memorials; teaching on God's eternity or Psalm 90.
