725. 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
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient in thine arm alone,
And our defence 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 ev'ning gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night,
Before the rising sun.
