Home to your people, so long before mountains
raised up their ramparts and lifted their heads;
God our companion through each generation,
there from our rising till rest in our beds.
Breaking bread with us, you share celebration,
when toil and trouble come, never desert.
Holding through ages your love is our comfort,
joy in our brightness and healing for hurt.
Verses 3-4 follow
Tune: STEWARDSHIP
