O God, our help in ages past Our hope for years to come Our shelter from the stormy blast And our eternal home Under the shadow of thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure Sufficient is thy arm alone And our defense is sure Before the hills in order stood Or earth received her frame From everlasting thou are God To endless years the same A thousand ages in thy sight Are like an evening gone Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun Time, like an ever-rolling stream Bears all it's songs away They fly forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day God, our help in ages past Our hope for years to come Be thou our guard while troubles last And our eternal home Oh God our help Oh God our help
