1. O God, our help in a -ges past, Our hope for years to come,
2. Be-fore the hills in or -der stood, Or earth re-ceived her frame,
3. Time, like an ev- er-roll-ing stream, Bears all its sons a -way;
4. O God' our help in a -ges past, Our hope for years to come,

1. Our shel-ter from the storm-y blast, And our e-ter -nal home.
2. From ev -er last -ing Thou art God, to en -less years the same.
3. They fly, for-got -ten, as a dream Dies at the op-' ning day.
4. Be Thou our guide while life shall last, And our e-ter -nal home.
