O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1719 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,268 hymnals Topics: God As Refuge/Safety/Shelter 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 your throne your saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is your arm alone, and our defense is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood or earth received its frame, from everlasting you are God, to endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in your 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, soon bears us all away; we fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the opening day. 6 O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, still be our guard while troubles last, and our eternal home!

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 688 hymnals Topics: God As Refuge Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; our helper he, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; his craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate, on earth is not his equal. 2 Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing; were not the right man on our side, the man of God's own choosing. Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he, Lord Sabaoth his name, from age to age the same, and he must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, we will not fear, for God hath willed his truth to triumph through us. The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him; his rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure; one little word shall fell him. 4 That Word above all earthly pow'rs, no thanks to them, abideth; the Spirit and the gifts are ours through him who with us sideth. Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; the body they may kill: God's truth abideth still; his kingdom is forever. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG
