1. O God our help, in ages past,

Our hope for years to come,

Our shelter from the stormy blest,

And our eternal home.

2. Beneath the shadow of thy throne

Thy Saints have dwelt – secure.

Sufficient is thine art alone,

And our defence is sure.

3. Before the hills in order stood,

Or earth receive 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,

And our eternal home,

Be thou our guard while troubles last.
