O   God,  our  help  in  a  -  ges  past,

A                      B    E
Our  hope  for  years  to   come,

      A            E           D          E
Our   shel - ter   from   the  stor - my  blast,

     D        E         A
And  our e –  ter - nal home!

A                              E    A
Un - der  the  sha - dow  of   Thy  throne

A                      B    E
Thy saints have dwelt  se - cure;

      A                        D          E
Suf – fi  -  cient is   Thine  arm    a - lone,

     D        E         A
And  our de - fense is  sure.

A                              E    A
Be - fore the  hills in  or -  der  stood,

A                      B    E
Or  earth  re - ceived her  frame,

      A            E           D          E
From  ev  –  er -  last - ing  Thou  art  God,

To   endless  years the same.

A                              E    A
A  thou - sand a  -  ges  in   Thy  sight

A                      B    E
Are  like  an   eve -  ning gone;

      A            E             D          E
Short as     the   watch that  ends  the  night

     D        E         A
Be - fore the ris - ing sun.

A                              E    A
Time like an   ev -  er-roll - ing  stream,

A                      B    E
Bears all  its  sons   a -  way;

      A            E           D          E
They  fly    for – got - ten   as     a   dream

     D        E         A
Dies at  the  op'ning   day.

A                              E    A
O   God,  our  help  in   a -  ges  past,

A                      B    E
Our  hope  for  years  to   come,

      A            E           D          E
Be    Thou   our   guard while life shall last,

     D        E         A
And  our  e – ter - nal home!
