#10: O God, Our Help in Ages Past

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)

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

Still may we dwell secure;

Sufficient is Thine arm alone,

And our defense 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

Time, like an ever-rolling stream,

Bears all its sons away;

They fly, forgotten, as a dream

Dies at the opening day.

5

O God our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come,

Be thou our guide while life shall last,

And our eternal home.
