O God, our help in ages past

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,270 hymnals Topics: Year B Advent 2 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. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:7-8 Used With Tune: ST ANNE

He commanded, it was done: heaven and earth and depths of ocean in their threefold order one; all that grows beneath the shining of the moon and burning sun, evermore and evermore. 3 O that birth for ever blessèd! When the Virgin, full of grace, by the Holy Ghost conceiving, bare the Saviour of our race, and the babe, the world's redeemer, first revealed his sacred face, evermore and evermore. 4 This is he whom seers in old time chanted of with one accord, whom the voices of the prophets promised in their faithful word; now he shines, the long-expected; let creation praise its Lord, evermore and evermore. 5 O ye heights of heaven, adore him; angel hosts, his praises sing; powers, dominions, bow before him, and extol our God and King; let no tongue on earth be silent, every voice in concert ring, evermore and evermore. 6 Christ, to thee with God most blessèd, and, O Holy Ghost, to thee, hymn and chant and high thanksgiving, and unwearied praises be, honour, glory, and dominion and eternal victory, evermore and evermore.
