Harry Doerksen - O God Our Help in Ages Past Lyrics

O God our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Our shelter from the stormy blast
And our eternal home

Under the shadow of Thy throne
Your children dwell secure
Sufficient is your arm alone
And our defense is sure

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

Amen - in ages past your hand sustained us
Amen - through all that's coming grace remains
Amen - our roots are anchored in your goodness
Amen - our trust is in your faithfulness

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
