HYMN Lyrics Text: Oh God Our Help In Ages Past

1. O God our help in ages past,

our hope for years to come

our shelter from the stormy blast.

and our eternal home.

2. Beneath the shadow of Thy throne

Thy saints have dwelt-secure.

Sufficient is Thine arm alone,

and our defence is sure.

3. Before the hills in order stood,

or earth receive her frame;

from everlasting thou are God,

to endless years the same.

4. A thousand ages in thy sight,

are like an evening gone,

short as the watch

that ends the night

before the rising sun.

5. Time like an ever-rolling stream,

bears all its sons away.

They fly forgotten as a dream

dies at the opening day.

6. O God our help in ages past,

our hope for years to come.

Be Thou our guard

while troubles last,

and our eternal home.
