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.
3
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.
4
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.

Greatly worded hymn; gives us the assurance of God's ever present help in all life's challenges.

The lyrics is rich and it's really telling us what God is to us. We should not be moved cause He got the whole world in His hand. l love the song I remember from my secondary school days. All I can say is thank You Lord for bringing us this far!

...for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
So that we may BOLDLY say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

If God has been our help in ages past then we shall not be moved in 2018. We thank God for He will continually be our refuge, security, guard, shepherd, sufficiency, all in all and above all our eternal abode.

Do we really realize this God is a home?
Being blessed by this hymn tonight, I say, "Thank You Lord for making Yourself a Home, eternal."

Looking back to 2017.... great has been His goodness, mercy and faithfulness. Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, today and forever. What a calm assurance..... "As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be...."

What happened to:
Forgive, we now, each other's faults
As we our faults confess,
And let us love each other well
In Christian holiness.

God indeed has been true in our lives as the lyrics of this song.
He has been our help, our shield and support over the years and even today.
I bow in awe of Him and worship.
We know He will be our help until the end of our days here on earth.
