Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #145 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 Beneath 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,
For aye wilt be 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 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!
Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace God Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE
