This Isaac Watts hymn is a setting of Psalm 90, which opens with the famous line, "Lord, you have been our dwelling place through all generations.... from everlasting to everlasting, You are God." The hymn is about the eternality of God and, in contrast, the finite and fleeting nature of man. As we meditate on days and years gone by, particular when a new year is approaching, may the conclusion of Psalm 90 be our hope: "So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom... Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days."
This adaptation is a re-harmonization of the traditional tune with an added chorus whose lyrics are simply the first verse.

When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;

As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
