Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,261 hymnals 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 its 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,
soon bears us all 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,
still be our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home! Topics: Anniversary; Confession; Death; Deliverance; Forgiveness; God as Help; God as Loving; God as Refuge; Grâce; Joy; Life; Moses; New Year's Eve; Old Age; Pain; Passage of Time; Sin; Singing; Success; Suffering; Work Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE
