O God, Our Help in Ages Past Lyrics

Our 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 your throne
Your saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is your arm alone,
And our defense is sure

Before the hills in order stood
Or Earth received her frame,
From everlasting you are God,
To endless years the sam

A thousand ages in your 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 op’ning da

Like flow’ry fields the nations stand,
Pleased with the morning light;
The flow’rs beneath the mower’s hand
Lie with’ring ere ’tis night

Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be thou our guard while troubles last
And our eternal home
