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 Thy throne 
  • Thy saints have dwelt secure; 
  • Sufficient is Thine arm alone, 
  • And our defence is sure. 
  • 
    
  • Before the hills in order stood, 
  • Or earth received her frame, 
  • From everlasting Thou art God, 
  • To endless years the same. 
  • 
    
  • A thousand ages in Thy sight 
  • Are like an evening gone, 
  • Short as the watch that ends the night 
  • Before the rising sun. 
  • 
    
  • Time, like an ever-rolling stream, 
  • Bears all its sons away; 
  • They fly forgotten, as a dream 
  • Dies at the opening day. 
  • 
    
  • O God, our help in ages past, 
  • Our hope for years to come, 
  • Be Thou our guard while troubles last, 
  • And our eternal home.
