90 (1)Psalm 90 Version 1CM
OUR 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;
Thay fly forgotten, as a dream
    Dies at the opening day.
 
6  Our God, our help in ages past,
    Our hope for years to come;
Be Thou our guard while troubles last,
    And our eternal home!
 
Isaac Watts, 1674-1748
