O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,253 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 36:7 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 Under the shadow of your throne your saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is your arm alone, and our defense is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood or earth received her frame, 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, bears all of us away; we fly, forgotten, as a dream dies at the opening day. 6 O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, be now our guide while life shall last, and our eternal home.
