Lyrics:

  1. O 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 Thy throne
    Thy saints have dwelt secure
    Sufficient is Thine arm alone
    And our defence is sure
     
  3. Before the hills in order stood
    Or earth received her frame
    From everlasting Thou art God
    To endless years the same
     
  4. A thousand ages in Thy 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
    Bears all its sons away
    They fly forgotten, as a dream
    Dies at the opening day
     
  6. O God, our Help in ages past
    Our hope for years to come
    Be Thou our guard while trouble last
    And our Eternal home
