Our Father, as the evergreen

Our Father, as the evergreen,
  Thou art forever new;
Thou art the ever living Lord,
  Thy freshness as the dew.

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.

Each blessing Thou hast given us
  Thy newness doth contain;
Thy covenant, Thy ways are new,
  And ever thus remain.

Now we Thy new creation are—
  New spirit and new heart;
We’re daily from the old renewed,
  New life Thou dost impart.

The earth and heavens will be new
  And Thy new city share;
New fruits each month will be supplied,
  For all is newness there.

O Father, Thou art ever new,
  And all is new in Thee;
We sing the new eternal song,
  New praise we give to Thee.
