THE GREAT ETERNAL GOD

By Gerald Cowan   Before the hills appeared, Before the rivers and the seas, Before the clouds were formed, Before the stirring of the breeze; Before a man was born, Or any other living thing; Before the rain or snow first fell, Before the flowers of spring; Before the paths of earth By mortal men were trod – Before it all, from everlasting was The Great Eternal God.   When everything on earth Decays and disappears, As darkness of the night Dissolves when daylight nears; When all the starry universe Burns up and fades away With nothing left to measure time, No sense of night or day; When challengers and skeptics all Lie dead beneath the sod – Through everlasting there will be The Great Eternal God.
