God of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. You, the God we boldly proclaim;
We your people bow down and with joy, we bless your holy name.
Praise be to the God who strengthens us each day, and comforts us in sorrow;
Praise be to the God of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
O' God, who changes not, and is forever the same, be our faithful friend;
Be our hope for each day, and let your gracious mercies never end.
Send down like the rain, your rich blessings. Hold us in your mighty hand;
Be our support and by your power, cause us to stand.
God in times such as these, we need your presence to guide and lead us.
We need your blessed Spirit to support and to be with us.
Do not withdraw your presence from us. Without you, we would fail;
We need you every hour O' God. In you, we triumph and prevail
While the world around us always changes, you are always the same;
Because of your love and mercy, we shall always bless your name.
God of yesterday, today, and tomorrow, to you, our voices are raised;
By the saints in heaven, and by the saints on earth, you are to forever praised.
-Michael Carter, 1999
