Lyics

O God! Our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come,

Our shelter from the stormy blast, 

And our eternal home.



Beneath the shadow of thy throne

Thy saints have dwelt secure;

Sufficient is thy arm alone, 

And our defense is sure.



Before the hills in order stood,

Or earth received her frame,

From everlasting thou art God,

To endless years the same.



A thousand ages in thy sight

Are like an evening gone;

Short as the watch that ends the night,

Before the rising sun.
