O God, our help in ages past, 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. |

Before the hills in order stood, 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. |

Time, like an ever-rolling stream, 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. |

I have also prayed for you today, lady from Miami, that you will know Gods complete healing and his blessings in your life.

I am in the process of praying for America and the world. Talking to the Lord about fair and free elections. Speaking to the Lord about those who wants to hurt the people of the world. God quickened this song to me. I have not heart it in years. Such a blessing to know that God has always been our help.

I woke up with this hymn this morning, at 76 l sang it many times in my life and it is a heart warming to know surely God was, God is, and forever will be our hope. With intrusive of Cancer over 7yrs now The Great Almighty God has secured me l pray for Healing in completeness of His sweet spirit that smiles to my heart. l couldn't have been here without GOD. l hope to get up, stand tall and praise God without limitation.
I reflect on the man that Jesus healed by the well, he had waited there for 38 years that's Great Hope, Patience and determination. Until Jesus Healed him with HIS WORD. Not the well but Power in Jesus Name.
I claim the same not giving up no QUITING.
Just Trusting in obedience IN JESUS NAME. IN GODS WORDS AND TRUE PROMISES THAT I RELIE ON.
The storm will calm down.

As I was thinking about the current state of things in America today and what the solution might be this song came to mind.
God is God. He has always been God. He will always be God.
As God has helped people through the ages He is helping me (and us) today.

Well said All. I hope your lives will be good, mine, at 87 is nearly finished, and an enemy, full of hate, is closing in on me, I repeat this hymn to myself, several times a day, to help fend off he who would wish me ill.
