Hymn: O God, our help in ages past (2024)

C9607 E607

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
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defence 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

Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.

6

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.

My last child took I'll yesterday and although the night my husband and I couldn't sleep well. In the early hours of the morning when the child fell asleep, I decided to read my Bible and as I was about to pray the hymn welled up in my spirit. I hummed it and wanted to continue with my prayer but didn't have that release until I searched out and sang the six stanzas and my heart was greatly encouraged. His love and care for us are beyond what we think or imagine. God is indeed with us in every situation we go through, we are not alone. Thank you, Lord Jesus.

As I was having my quiet time this morning, and doing a Bible study in the songs, a question was sing a simple hymn of praise to God no matter how you might be feeling at the moment. I had been feeling some anxiety over the ice storm. We’ve had recently. When the power went out and it began to get colder and colder in our house. The anxiety became more and more but this song came to my mind. I have not sung this song for decades, so I looked it up online and found the words. These words blessed me, and gave me peace in the midst of the storm. God is our help in ages past our hope for here to come!
