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.

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.

While in church this morning this song gave me the assurance of everlasting help from God. While reading the word of the song I am assured that the help I got in the past will never cease as we move into the future.

Thank You Lord for the assurance of the future despite the uncertainty.
