Oh God Our Help In Ages Past
verse words by Isaac Watts/music by William Croft
arr. by Eric Herron
chorus words and music by Eric Herron

Verse 1
Oh God our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Our shelter from the stormy blast
And our eternal home
Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure
Sufficient is Thine arm alone
And our defense is sure

Chorus 1
O God of help O God of peace
Come swiftly to this needy heart
And make Your dwelling place

Verse 2
Before the hills in order stood
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

Verse 3
Time like an ever rolling stream
Bears all its sons away
They fly forgotten as a dream
Dies at the op'ning 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
