O God, our help in ages past

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 to come

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.

Time like an ever rolling stream

Bears all its sons away

They fly forgotten as a dream

Dies at the opening day

6.

O God, our help in ages past

Our hope for years to come

Be Thou our guard while troubles last

And our eternal home
