“Through the Ages”
MUELLER 11.11.11.11 (“Away in a Manger”)
Text: Anna Strickland, 2022
Music: James R. Murray, 1887
Oh down through the ages and generations
From God in the garden to Jesus the son
Each story was woven, each one has a place
Within the great tapestry telling God’s grace
From Abraham, Isaac, and Israel’s line
How Rahab and Ruth and Bathsheba survived
From exile in Egypt to Babylon far
Christ’s lineage shows how complex stories are
And still through the ages our stories will find
Belonging in God’s story of humankind
From God in the garden to eternity
We’re woven together as one tapestry
