Verse 1
O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home:
Verse 2
Under the shadow of your throne
your saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is your arm alone,
and our defense is sure.
Verse 3
Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received its frame,
from everlasting you are God,
to endless years the same.
Verse 4
A thousand ages in your sight
are like an evening gone,
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
Verse 5
Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
soon bears us all away;
we fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the op’ning day.
Verse 6
O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
still be our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home!
