Key of Ab

Capo on 1st Fret

                         G                                         C                  D                                       G

Response: O Lord, You have been our refuge from one generation to the next.

         G                              C

You turn men back to dust

         D                                       G

and say: ‘Go back, sons of men.’

              G                              C

To Your eyes a thousand years

               D                                    G

are like yesterday, come and gone,

         D                                          G

no more than a watch in the night.

                         G                                         C                  D                                       G

Response: O Lord, You have been our refuge from one generation to the next.

             G                                     C

You sweep men away like a dream,

                 D                                                  G

like the grass which springs up in the morning.

               G                                           C

In the morning it springs up and flowers:

      D                                       G

by evening it withers and fades.

                         G                                         C                  D                                       G

Response: O Lord, You have been our refuge from one generation to the next.

                    G                                         C

Make us know the shortness of our life

           D                                        G

that we may gain wisdom of heart.

               G                                     C

Lord, relent! Is Your anger for ever?

             D                        G

Show pity to Your servants.

                         G                                         C                  D                                       G

Response: O Lord, You have been our refuge from one generation to the next.

               G                                        C

In the morning, fill us with Your love;

                   D                                       G

we shall exult and rejoice all our days.

               G                                      C

Let the favour of the Lord be upon us:

                D                                        G

give success to the work of our hands.

                         G                                         C                  D                                       G

Response: O Lord, You have been our refuge from one generation to the next.
