Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ancient of Days all of Your ways show Your wonders
Jehovah Jireh our awesome provider and healer
Author of time be glorified as we worship
All You have done
Tells of Your greatness tells of Your worth
The works of Your hands display Your majesty
Shows us Your goodness shows us Your abundance
The works of Your hands reveal Your glory
Father to nations forever patient and faithful
To each generation You show compassion and mercy
Jehovah Nissi our sovereign protector and fortress
Lord of all life be glorified as we worship
In the song "King of the Ages" by Eoghan Heaslip, the lyrics celebrate and give thanks to God for his greatness, goodness, and faithfulness. The first verse begins with "King of the Ages history's pages point to You" which references how throughout history, God's presence and influence can be seen. The second line, "Ancient of Days all of Your ways show Your wonders" refers to God's eternal nature, and how everything he does is full of wonder and greatness.
The next two lines reference God as Jehovah Jireh, which means our provider, and healer. This line acknowledges God's role as a caretaker and how he takes care of us. The following line, "Author of time be glorified as we worship" is a call to worship God by acknowledging his role as the creator of time, and how he should be worshipped and revered for all that he does.
The second verse acknowledges God's goodness, showcasing his abundance and glory. The works of God's hands display his majesty and reveal his glory, showing his greatness and worth. The line "Father to nations forever patient and faithful" highlights how God has been loving and caring for nations throughout history despite any circumstances that may come his way. Jehovah Nissi is God's name as a protector and fortress, and the last line of the song, "Lord of all life be glorified as we worship" is a continuation of the call to worship, giving praise to God for all that he has done.
