403. O God, Our Help

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 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting thou art God,
To endless years the same.

3 A thousand ages in thy sight
Are like an evening gone,
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising dawn.

5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten--as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
