Our God, our Help in ages past

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,261 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our 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 thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is thine arm alone, And our defense is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting thou art God, To endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in thy sight Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. 5 The busy tribes of flesh and blood, With all their lives and cares, Are carried downward by thy flood, And lost in following years. 6 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. 7 Our God, our Help in ages past, Our Hope for years to come, Be thou our Guard while troubles last, And our eternal Home. Amen.

We read thee in the sky above, We read thee in the earth below, In seas that swell, and streams that flow. 5 We read thee best in him who came To bear for us the cross of shame; Sent by the Father from on high, Our life to live, our death to die. 6 We read thy pow'r to bless and save, E'en in the darkness of the grave; Still more in resurrection light We read the fulness of thy might. 7 O love of God, our shield and stay Through all the perils of our way! Eternal love, in thee we rest, For ever safe, for ever blest. Amen.
