81 ~ O God, Our Help
1
O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home!
2
Under the shadow of thy throne, Still may we dwell secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defense is sure.
3
Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting, Thou art God, To endless years the same.
4
A thousand ages, in Thy sight, Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night, Before the rising sun.
5
O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come; Be thou our guide while life shall last, And our eternal home!
