O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 1,258 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 Thy throne Still may we dwell secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defence 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.

My God, My Everlasting Hope

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 116 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My God, my everlasting hope, I live upon Thy truth; Thine hands have held my childhood up, And strengthened all my youth. 2. My flesh was fashioned by Thy power, With all these limbs of mine; And from my mother’s painful hour, I’ve been entirely Thine. 3. Still has my life new wonders seen Repeated every year; Behold, my days that yet remain, I trust them to Thy care. 4. Cast me not off when strength declines, When hoary hairs arise; And round me let Thy glory shine, Whene’er Thy servant dies. 5. Then in the history of my age, When men review my days, They’ll read Thy love in every page, In every line Thy praise. Used With Tune: DOWNS Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
