Our Father, as the evergreen (Hymn 16)

Verse 1: Our Father, as the evergreen, Thou art forever new; Thou art the ever living Lord, Thy freshness as the dew. Verse 2: O Thou art God, and Thou art "new"; Without Thee all is worn, But all with Thee is ever fresh, Though many years have gone. Verse 3: Each blessing Thou hast given us Thy newness doth contain; Thy covenant, Thy ways are new, And ever thus remain. Verse 4: Now we Thy new creation are— New spirit and new heart; We're daily from the old renewed, New life Thou dost impart. Verse 5: The earth and heavens will be new And Thy new city share; New fruits each month will be supplied, For all is newness there. Verse 6: O Father, Thou art ever new, And all is new in Thee; We sing the new eternal song, New praise we give to Thee.
