Before the Mountains lyrics

Before the mountains were born

You brought forth the earth and the world

For a thousand years in your sight

Are like a day that has just gone by

Or like a guard in the night

From everlasting to everlasting

From everlasting to everlasting

You are love

You sweep men away in the sleep of death

They are like the new grass in the morning

In the morning

Though in the morning it springs up new

By evening it is dry and withered

You turn men back to dust

You turn men back to dust

Return to dust oh son of men

Return to dust

From everlasting to everlasting

From everlasting to everlasting

You are god

Teach me to number my day aright

That I might gain a heart of wisdom

Establish the work of my hands

Establish my work trough your hands
