Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #228 (2018) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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
Still may we dwell secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense 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 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op'ning day.
5 O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guide while life shall last,
And our eternal home. Topics: The Celebration of the Gospel Story Creation and Providence; Presence of God; Providence of God Scripture: Psalm 90:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE
