TEXT
"O God, Our Help In Ages Past"
Isaac Watts (1674-1748)
Philippians 4:4-7 adapted by Dinah Haag
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
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.
Christ's peace will guard our hearts and minds,
Transcending all we've known.
More Truth and Light is yet to come
Out of God's Holy Word.

O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
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.
Christ's peace will guard our hearts and minds,
Transcending all we've known.
More Truth and Light is yet to come
Out of God's Holy Word.
