O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,241 hymnals Scripture: James 1:17 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 her 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, bears all of us away; we fly, forgotten, as a dream dies at the opening day. 6 O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, be now our guide while life shall last, and our eternal home.

Each blessing to my soul more dear Because conferred by thee, In every joy that crowns my days, In every pain I bear, My heart shall find delight in praise Or seek relief in prayer. 3 When gladness wings my favored hour, Thy love my thoughts shall fill; Resigned, when storms of sorrow lower, My soul shall meet thy will. My lifted eye, without a tear, The gathering storm shall see; My steadfast heart shall know no fear; That heart will rest on thee.
