Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #136 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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 Beneath the shadow of Your throne
Your people lived secure;
sufficient is Your arm alone,
and our defence is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth from darkness came,
from everlasting You are God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in Your sight
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends the night,
before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
will bear us all away;
We pass forgotten, as a dream
dies at the dawning day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come:
be our defence while life shall last,
and our eternal home! Topics: God Through the Years New Year - Old Year Languages: English Tune Title: ST ANNE
