As a father has compassion on his children
So the Lord has compassion on those who fear him
For he knows how we are formed, he remembers we are dust
As for man, his days are like the grass.
Like the flower of the field he flourishes
the wind blows and removes it from its place
But from everlasting to everlasting
The Lord's love is with those who fear him!
Come let us praise, come let us raise our hands to the king
Come and adore Jesus our Lord, yet while we still breathe
Let us proclaim his wonderful name, let our voices rise
Let us magnify our Lord Jesus Christ!
What is man that you are mindful of him?
For what is our life, but a mist
That appears for a while and then vanishes?
We are dust and to dust we shall return
Yet how great is the love the Lord has lavished on us
That we should be called children of God?
For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness
And brought us into the kingdom of his son!
