Our God, Our Help in Ages Past

• Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout
  all generations.
• Ps 901
• From Psalm 90, Isaac Watts, 1719

• Our God, our help in ages past,Our hope for
  years to come,Our shelter from the stormy
  blast,And our eternal home.

3

• Under the shadow of your throneYour saints have
  dwelt secureSufficient is your arm alone,And
  our defense is sure.

4

• Before the hills in order stood,Or earth
  received her frame,From everlasting you are
  God,To endless years the same.

5

• A thousand ages in your sightAre like an evening
  goneShort as the watch that ends the
  nightBefore the rising sun.

6

• The busy tribes of flesh and blood,With all
  their lives and cares,Are carried downward by
  the flood,And lost in following years.

7

• Time, like an ever rolling stream,Bears all its
  sons awayThey fly, forgotten, as a dreamDies
  at the opening day.

8

• Our God, our help in ages past,Our hope for
  years to come,O be our guard while troubles
  last,And our eternal home.
