Stanza 1
O God, our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Our shelter from the stormy blast
And our eternal home
Stanza 2
Under the shadow of thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure
Sufficient is thine arm alone
And our defense is sure
Stanza 3
Before the hills in order stood
Or earth received her frame
From everlasting thou art God
To endless years the same
Stanza 4
A thousand ages in thy sight
Are like an evening gone
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun
Stanza 5
Time, like an ever-rolling stream
Bears all its sons away
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day
Stanza 6
O God, our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Be thou our guard while troubles last
And our eternal home
