O God, our help in ages past

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.

This hymn came to mind when I read a friends WhatsApp status on December 31st. The words has been a sure comfort, a repose and beacon of hope to me tonight. May the Lord use it to lift up many spirits that are down-casted.

The indebt of this song unfolded the mystery of God, His Majesty, His supremacy, His Mightiness and His unending grace. More than a song if well meditated. May God's unfalling grace never siezed over us and this perverse generation. Amen.

Like a number of people before me, this hymn came to me this morning as I was giving my day to the Lord. Since a child it has always been a source of comfort, trusting in God’s constant and eternal presence as we journey through life’s twist and turns and beyond.

I woke up with this song in my head. This song is so soothing and comforting to me at this moment. I believe God will come through for me at every point of this challenge I'm going through at the moment.
