Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,241 hymnals Lyrics: 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 your throne your saints have dwelt secure. Sufficient is your arm alone, and our defense is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood, or earth received its frame, from everlasting you are God, to endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in your sight are like an evening gone, short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun. 5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, soon bears us all away. We fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the op’ning day. 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.
