Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #25 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: The New Century Hymnal 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 your throne
your saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is your arm alone,
and our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood
or earth received its frame,
From everlasting you are God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in your 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,
soon bears us all away;
We fly forgotten, as a dream
fades at the opening day.
6 Our God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
Still be our God while troubles last,
and our eternal home! Topics: Adoration and Praise God; Eternal Life; God Strength and Refuge of; Psalm Paraphrases; Year A Proper 25; Year A Proper 28 Scripture: Psalm 90:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE
