Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #16 (2013) 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 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 op’ning day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be now our guard while life shall last,
and our eternal home!
