O God, Our Help in Ages Past
- O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home: - Under the shadow of your throne
your saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is your arm alone,
and our defense is sure. - Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting you are God,
to endless years the same. - A thousand ages in your sight
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun. - The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
with all their lives and cares,
are carried downward by your flood,
and lost in foll’wing years. - Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
bears all its sons away;
they fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the op’ning day. - O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come:
O be our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home.
