O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Lyrics

VERSE 1
O 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 Your throne
Your saints have dwelt secure
Sufficient is Your arm alone
And our defense is sure
And our defense is sure

CHORUS
Lord, You have been our dwelling place
In every generation You’re our King
Lord, You have crowned our lives with grace
Our humble adoration we will bring
And we sing to You
We sing to You
Beneath the shelter
Of Your wings

VERSE 3
Before the towering mountains stood
’Fore the oceans, fields and plains
From everlasting You are God
To endless years the same

VERSE 4
Oh a thousand ages in Your sight
Are a fleeting moment gone
One day is like a thousand years
To You, Eternal One
To You, Eternal One
