O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.

Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.

Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
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.
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.

Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.

O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while life shall last,
And our eternal home.
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while life shall last,
And our eternal home.

I love hearing this song. God is our only hope. I feel like crying. I need my faith & hope to be strong. This song helps me a lot in troubled times. Reminds of Hod is our only HOPE.

this hymn is indeed " a heart lifting hymn". God who has always been our help despite when we fail to put our trust and hope in him at different times; yet he overlooks us and still give us the necessary defense and shelter. what a God yesterday, today and forever.

“O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,

Hope is a Person! Our God, who is Hope, is greater than any event. He can never be taken away.
Hope in God is the backbone- the support- of our faith!
Lord, keep us encouraged in You! Amen.

Great song of all the time. Indeed our unchanging, self sufficient, self providing God is our help throughout generations of mankind that comes and goes until the time he will gather all his elect to His eternal home.
A beautiful song for this special period
