103   O God Our Help




[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]
A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.

[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!
