O God, our help in ages past

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,260 hymnals Topics: The Activity of God God in human experience 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 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, bears all our years away; they 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 guard while troubles last, and our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90:1-5 Used With Tune: ST ANNE

Carry the Joyful Tidings

Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Living His Life Call to Activity Lyrics: 1 Carry the joyful tidings To every land and sea; Banish the heart dividings, Brothers should brothers be; Christ died for all the nations, "One flesh and blood," saith he; There are no tribes or stations; One in the Lord are we. 2 God who hath lent his talents, Bids us his service choose; God who hath lent his riches, Bids us in kindness use; God who hath freedom given, Calls us to make it known; He is preparing heaven Not for ourselves alone. 3 Souls on the Orient mountains, Souls in the Northern snows, Souls by the Southern fountains Souls where the sunset glows; Souls out of Christ the Saviour; O for a Church of love, Bearing the priceless favor, Pointing the lost above!
