Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home.
VERSE 2
Beneath the shadow of thy throne,
the saints have dwelt secure.
Sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defence is sure.
VERSE 3
Before the hills in order stood,
or earth receive her frame,
from everlasting thou art God,
to endless years the same.
VERSE 4
A thousand ages in thy sight,
are like an evening gone,
short as the watch that ends the night,
before the rising sun.
VERSE 5
Time, like an ever rolling stream,
bears all its sons away
they fly forgotten as a dream,
dies at the open'ng day.
VERSE 6
O God, our help, in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be Thou our guide while troubles last,
and our eternal home.
