All people that on earth do dwell

Our God, our Help in ages past

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: TH1961 #26b (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 Under the shadow of thy throne Thy saints have dwelt 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 A thousand ages in thy sight Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. 5 The busy tribes of flesh and blood, With all their lives and cares, Are carried downward by thy flood, And lost in following years. 6 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. 7 Our God, our Help in ages past, Our Hope for years to come, Be thou our Guard while troubles last, And our eternal Home. Amen.

Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: TH1961 #28 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard That firm remains on high The everlasting throne of him Who formed the earth and sky? 2 Art thou afraid his pow'r shall fail When comes thine evil day? And can an all-creating arm Grow weary or decay? 3 Supreme in wisdom as in pow'r The Rock of Ages stands, Though him thou canst not see, nor trace The working of his hands. 4 He gives the conquest to the weak, Supports the fainting heart, And courage in the evil hour His heav'nly aids impart. 5 Mere human pow'r shall fast decay, And youthful vigor cease; But they who wait upon the Lord In strength shall still increase. 6 They with unwearied feet shall tread The path of life divine, With growing ardor onward move, With growing brightness shine. 7 On eagles' wings they mount, they soar - Their wings are faith and love - Till, past the cloudy regions here, They rise to heav'n above.

The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our safety to secure, The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure. 4 O come, behold what wondrous works Jehovah's hand has wrought; Come, see what desolation great He on the earth has brought. To utmost ends of all the earth He causes war to cease; The weapons of the strong destroyed, He makes abiding peace. 5 Be still and know that I am God, O'er all exalted high; The subject nations of the earth My Name shall magnify.

In justice and in judgment right The Lord doth ever take delight; With goodness earth is fraught. 3 Jehovah's word the heav'ns hath made, And all the host of them arrayed His breath has caused to be. He rolls the waters heap on heap; He stores away the mighty deep In garners of the sea. 4 Let all the earth Jehovah fear, Let all that dwell both far and near In awe before him stand; For, lo, he spake and it was done, And all, his sovereign pow'r begun, Stood fast at his command. 5 He makes the nations' counsels vain, The plans the peoples would maintain Are thwarted by his hand. Jehovah's counsel stands secure, His purposes of heart endure, For evermore they stand. 6 O truly is the nation blessed Whose God, before the world confessed, Jehovah is alone; And blessed the people is whom he Has made his heritage to be, And chosen for his own.
