Our God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Worshipbook #549 (1972) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Service for the Lord's Day Opening of Worship 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 Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting you are God, To endless years the same. 3 A thousand ages in your sight Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. 4 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. 5 Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, O be our guard while life shall last, And our eternal home. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 90 Tune Title: ST. ANNE
