O God our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
ur shel'ter from the stormy blast
And our eternal home!
And our eternal home!
Beneath the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure
Sufficient is Thine arm alone
And our defense is sure
And our defense is sure
Before the hills in order stood
Or earth received her frame
From everlasting Thou art God
To endless years the same
To endless years the same
A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone
Short as the watch that end the night!
Before the rising sun
Before the rising sun
| |
Time, like an ever rolling stream
Bears all its sons away
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op'ning day
Dies at the op'ning day
O God our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Be Thou our guard while life shall last
And our eternal home!
And our eternal home!
