O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: H1955 #111 (1955) 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 Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting Thou art God, To endless years the same. 3 A thousand ages in Thy sight Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. 4 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. 5 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.
