(Tune: Dear Lord, we thank Thee for our youth today. #323)
Dear Lord, we thank Thee for the Aged today,
Gold of the kingdom time cannot decay
Footprints they’ve left upon the sands of time,
Still safe to follow as we upward climb.
Chorus:
The flesh grows weak the eyes grow dim,
Yet still the Spirit dwells so deep within,
Faithful to Him each day, Loving His truth and way,
Watching and waiting for that glorious day!
Dear Lord, we thank Thee for the Aged today,
Lights in this world where darkness still holds sway,
Oil in their vessels, lamps still burning bright,
Wait for their Bridegroom with no fear of night.
Dear Lord, we thank Thee for the Aged today,
Wisdom they’ve gathered from Thy word each day,
Faithfully praying for each little one,
Help for each step until their race is run.
Dear Lord, we thank Thee for the Aged today,
Content where you have placed them in your way.
It may not be the lot that flesh would choose,
Your will is best the faithful years will prove.
