Verse 1
Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home.
Verse 2
Under the shadow of Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defense is sure.
Verse 3
Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God, To endless years the same.
Verse 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.
Verse 5
A thousand ages in Thy sight Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun.
