Our God, our help in ages past

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #389 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Affilction; Blessedness of piety; Christians their life and experience; Courage of Christians; Faith in God; Goodness of God a ground of trust; God our hope; Resignation Lyrics: 1 Our 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 Thy saints have dwelt 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. 5 Time, like an ever rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. 6 Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be Thou our guard while troubles last, And our eternal home!

Yet, Lord, thy saints on earth may reap Some profit by the good we do; These are the company I keep, These are the choicest friends I know. Let others choose the sons of mirth To give a relish to their wine; I love the men of heav'nly birth, Whose thoughts and language are divine. Scripture: Psalm 16 Languages: English
