Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: RitualSong #735 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: God the Father (Creator) 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 guide while troubles last,
And our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE
O God, Our Help in Ages Past
