O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
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.
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.

Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
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.
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.
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.

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.
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while life shall last,
And our eternal home.

Beautiful hymn. It helps me immensely to lift myself from despair.

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.

Whenever my spirit is down this hymn inspires me, uplifts my spirit. Indeed Our God is awesome. He alone is God its also my dad's favorite.

God is our help and Refuge, our present help in trouble. This song is well inspired and refreshing. Security is sure for all who takes refuge in Him. He is my God and my help.

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.

This song came to my mind while praying for my nation Nigeria. We sure do need God's help. He alone has been our help in times past. And our hope for years to come.
Please if you read this comment, pray for Nigeria, we are going through stuff now.

As I worshiped this morning, the Lord placed this song in my heart. This has been a trying period, but God is reassuring me of being the same yesterday, Today and Forever.

I almost lost a dear friend yesterday. Thank God I did not lose her. With a grateful heart to God, I came looking for the lyrics of this hymn.
It is so reassuring.
