1. Now praise the hidden God of love,
In whom we all must live and move,
Who shepherds us at every stage,
Through youth, maturity, and age.

2. Who challenged us, when we were young,
To storm the citadels of wrong;
In care for others taught us how
God's true community must grow.

3. Who bids us never lose our zest,
Though age is urging us to rest,
But proves to us that we have still
A work to do, a place to fill.
