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.

One of my favourite hymns. It gives me the assurance that God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. He will never leave nor forsake his own in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen

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."
