Allelujah, allelujah! 2 Trust not in rulers; they are but mortal; Earth-born they are and soon decay. Vain are their counsels at life's last portal, When the dark grave engulfs its prey. Since mortals can no help afford, Place all your trust in Christ, our Lord. Allelujah, allelujah! 3 Blessed, oh, blessed are they forever Whose help is from the Lord Most High, Whom from salvation can nothing sever, And who in hope to Christ draw nigh. To all who trust in Him, our Lord Will aid and counsel now afford. Allelujah, allelujah! 4 Penitent sinners, for mercy crying, Pardon and peace from Him obtain; Ever the wants of the poor supplying, Their faithful God He will remain. He helps His children in distress, The widows and the fatherless. Allelujah, allelujah! 5 Praise, all you people, the name so holy Of Him who does such wondrous things! All that has being, to praise Him solely, With happy heart its amen sings. Children of God, with angel host Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Allelujah, allelujah!

Trumpets and organs, set in motion Such sounds as make the heavens ring; All things that live in earth and ocean Make music for your mighty King. 3 Rivers and seas and torrents roaring, Honor the Lord with wild acclaim; Mountains and stones, look up adoring, And find a voice to praise His name. Righteous, commanding, ever glorious, Praises be His that never cease: Just is our God, whose truth victorious Establishes the world in peace. 4 People from ev'ry tribe and nation, Unite your songs with that refrain Endlessly sung in exultation: "Worthy is Christ, the Lamb once slain!" Join all the creatures, high and lowly, That raise their voices to adore God--Father, Son, and Spirit holy, The Three-in-One forevermore. Scripture: Psalm 98 Used With Tune: RENDEZ Á DIEU

O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,270 hymnals Topics: Psalm Paraphrases Lyrics: 1 Our 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 fades at the opening day. 6 Our God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, Still be our God while troubles last, and our eternal home!
