In Every Age by Janet Sullivan Whitaker 

I was the first MD for a newly merged parsih 10 years ago. we ran 3 campuses for a year. I planned this sone for the the first church closing mass. 19 months later, i used this for the second closing mass. I was working in a merged parish with two campuses until May 2024 and did not want to close another church. I mover to an already merged parish. The sting and dissapointment came 11 years ago for them. Anyway, at those two closning masses you could feel the hope in the people as we sang this song. The bishops that celebrated the closing told me that I did things they hadn't done before. I told them I didn't get much support from the Archdioces, so I found liturgies online and made a hybrid. This song and others were monumental.

Every time I hear this song I end up with streaming tears... Love my Lord and God SOOO MUCH. How I wish everyone truly knew Him and loved Him. May God be blessed and praised for ever. Amen

Hearing this song for the first time....lyrics and chords are so beautiful. Thanks Chris.

Today, this song made me cry, it is so beautiful

Once again, I hurriedly must prepare to sing at Mass tomorrow, and here you are, Chris, with whom I sing along -- exactly as the song is written, which is the way my choir partners want me to sing it, so I am now fully prepared. I will sleep easy tonight. Bless you, Chris.

Long before the mountains came to be and the land and sea and stars of the night, through the endless seasons of all time, you have always been, you will always be. Refrain In ev’ry age, O God, you have been our refuge. In ev’ry age, O God, you have been our hope. Verse 2 Destiny is cast, and at your silent word we return to dust and scatter to the wind. A thousand years are like a single moment gone, as the light that fades at the end of day. Refrain Verse 3 Teach us to make use of the time we have. Teach us to be patient even as we wait. Teach us to embrace our ev’ry joy and pain. To sleep peacefully, and to rise up strong. Refrain Refrain You have been our refuge You have been our hope.

Beautifully sung ♥️

Powerful lyrics peaceful tune and melody

Love this hymn - melody really brings out the poignant flavour of these poetic verses.... 'A thousand years are like a single moment gone,' really touches me. In Every Age, He has been with us...

Thanks Chris all these songs are beautiful and seems my spirit and beings are lifted

I played this song as a meditation after Communion the week before last. I think a half a dozen people came up to me after Mass to ask for the title and author. Very moving tune, melodically and lyrically.

Beautiful thank you!

My favourite hymn so beautifully sung. Thank you.

Moved to tears by this beautiful truth of our Lord who is both our refuge and hope. Thank you so much for your rendition of this beautiful hymn. God bless!

Beautiful Chris!

Thank you, Chris.

Thank you brother, you have been my go to for music I learn to cover for our parish's Mass needs as I don't read music. This song, I already knew, but play it without a capo. I should have tried it like you did, but my fingers already know it the way I do it, but I listen to it to learn the words better. I just wanted to thank you for what you did and let you know what a help it has been. Aloha. I play at Sacred Heart Parish in Naalehu HI. Peace

Thank you Mark and Trina for this special birthday gift.

Chris, you help me every week.

In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge. You turn man back to dust, saying, “Return, O children of men.” For a thousand years in your sight are as yesterday, now that it is past, or as a watch of the night. R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge. You make an end of them in their sleep; the next morning they are like the changing grass, Which at dawn springs up anew, but by evening wilts and fades. R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge. Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain wisdom of heart. Return, O LORD! How long? Have pity on your servants! R. In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge. Fill us at daybreak with your kindness, that we may shout for joy and gladness all our days. And may the gracious care of the LORD our God be ours; prosper the work of our hands for us! Prosper the work of our hands!

Hi the song is beautiful. Im looking to find guitar music for in every age .if you could help that would be great!!. God bless

Amen🙏

Nice arrangement, as usual.

Hi Chris, you play this very well. It’s a nice hymn. Your intro is short. Are your intro chords G, C, D and EM? The intro on the sheet music is much longer.

WORDS from psalms 90. I like this tune...in what season we can use this song??

Nice
