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
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.
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.
