O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: HOoS1926 #57 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Key: A Flat Major 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! Amen. Topics: Church Year New Year; New Year's Day; Swiftness of Time Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: BEATITUDO

His hands and feet are fastened; So He makes His people free; Not a wound whence blood is flowing But a fount of grace shall be: Yea, the very nails which nail Him Nail us also to the tree. 4 Through His heart the spear is piercing, Though His foes have seen Him die; Blood and water thence are streaming In a tide of mystery; Water, from our guilt to cleanse us, Blood, to win us crowns on high. 5 Jesus, may those precious fountains Drink to thirsting souls afford: Let them be our present healing, And at length our great reward; So a ransomed world shall ever Praise Thee, its redeeming Lord.

Gone is sorrow, gone is sadness, Ended is the gloomy night. Listen to the angel's story, Cast away all fear and dread; Give to God the Father glory! Christ is risen from the dead! 2 In the triumph of this hour, Jubilant shall swell the song; Unto Jesus, honor, power, Blessing, victory belong. Scattered are the clouds of error, Sin and hell are captive led: E'en the grave is free from terror, Christ is risen from the dead! 3 Every people, every nation Soon shall hear the gladsome sound; Joyous tidings of salvation, Borne to earth's remotest bound. Then shall rise, in tones excelling, Praise for grace so freely shed, And the Easter hymn be swelling, Christ is risen from the dead! Amen.
