O God Our Help In Ages Past 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]
Under the shadow of Thy throne
Still may we dwell secure
Sufficient is Thine arm alone
And our defense is sure
[Chorus]
O God, our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Be Thou our guard while troubles last
And our eternal home
[Verse 3]
Before the hills in order stood
Or earth received her frame
From everlasting, Thou art God
To endless years the same
[Verse 4]
A thousand ages, in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun
[Chorus]
O God, our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Be Thou our guard while troubles last
And our eternal home
