Author: Brian Wren; Isaac Watts Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #182 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Our God, our help in ages past 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 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received its frame,
from everlasting you are God,
and holy is your Name.
3 A thousand ages, in your sight,
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends the night,
before the rising sun.
4 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
bears all who breathe away,
they fly , forgotten, as a dream
dies in the dawning day.
5 Our God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our guide and guard while life shall last,
and our eternal home. Languages: English
