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.
REFRAIN
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
or earth received her frame;
Or earth received, receive her frame;
Thou art God,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same,
to endless years the same.
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
VERSE 2
Beneath the shadow of Thy throne,
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.
VERSE 3
A thousand ages in Thy sight,
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night,
Before the rising sun.
VERSE 4
Time like an ever rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op'ning day.
