O God, our help in ages past

- O God, our help in ages past,
- Our hope for years to come,
- Our shelter from the stormy blast,
- And our eternal home.
- Under the shadow of Thy throne
- Thy saints have dwelt secure;
- Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
- And our defence is sure.
- Before the hills in order stood,
- Or earth received her frame,
- From everlasting Thou art God,
- To endless years the same.
- A thousand ages in Thy sight
- Are like an evening gone,
- Short as the watch that ends the night
- Before the rising sun.
- Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
- Bears all its sons away;
- They fly forgotten, as a dream
- Dies at the opening day.
- O God, our help in ages past,
- Our hope for years to come,
- Be Thou our guard while troubles last,
- And our eternal home.
