Sweet the Moments, Rich in Blessing

O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: HOoS1926 #57 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: BEATITUDO Lyrics: 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 The busy tribes of flesh and blood, With all heir cares and fears, Are carried downward by the flood, And lost in following years. 6 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. 7 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!
