90 (1) | Psalm 90 Version 1 | CM | |
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 |
