It's over 100 years old.  I found two references via google.  It is 
disturbing to note the almost identical sentence leading up to quote.

1885 - History of the Church of God
Cushing Biggs Hassell & Sylvester Hassell

1890 - Natural Law in the Spiritual World
Henry Drummond LLD FRSE FGS

This page has two more lines transcribed from 1909 Obituary:

         When the moon is old
         And the stars are cold.
         And the books of the judgment day unfold.
         One God, one law, one element,
         And one far off divine event.

But these two extra lines come from last stanza of Tennyson's "In Memoriam" 
(1850):
