Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Voices United #806 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Funerals and Memorial Services 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 thy throne
thy saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defence is sure
3 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received its 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 Time like an ever-rolling stream
soon bears us all 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 thou our guide while troubles last,
and our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90 Tune Title: ST. ANNE
