Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #494 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: 2 Peter 3:8 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 Beneath 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 her 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,
will bear us all away;
we fade and vanish, as a dream
dies at the op'ning day.
6 Our God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be thou our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home.
