“Our God, our help in ages past”

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