Our God, Our Help In Ages Past By Traditional Hymn

Our God, Our Help In Ages Past [Lyrics & Video]

Stanza 1
Our 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
Thy Word commands our flesh to dust, ‘return, ye sons of men,’
All nations rose from earth at first, and turn to earth again.

Stanza 5
A thousand ages in Thy sight are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun.




Stanza 6
The busy tribes of flesh and blood, with all their lives and cares,
Are carried downwards by the flood, and lost in following years.

Stanza 7
Time, like an ever rolling stream, bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream dies at the opening day.

Stanza 8
Like flowery fields the nations stand pleased with the morning light;
The flowers beneath the mower’s hand lie withering ere ’tis night.

Stanza 9
Our God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while troubles last, and our eternal home.
