Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
O God our help in ages past, our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home.
VERSE 2
Under the shadow of your throne your saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is your arm alone, and our defense is sure.
VERSE 3
Before the hills in order stood or earth received her frame,
from everlasting Thou art God, to endless years the same.
VERSE 4
A thousand ages in Thy sight are like an evening gone,
short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun.
VERSE 5
Time, like an ever rolling stream, bears all of us away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the opening day.
VERSE 6
O God our help in ages past, our hope for years to come,
Be now our guard while life shall last, and our eternal home.
