The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#81

81. O 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 Under the shadow of Thy throne
Still may we dwell secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.

3 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art 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 O God, our Help in ages past,
Our Hope for years to come,
Be thou our Guard while life shall last,
And our eternal home!

AMEN.
