{eoc}

O 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
Still may we dwell secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm  alone,
And our defense is sure.
And our defense is sure.

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.
Before the rising sun.

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 guide while life shall last,
And  our  eternal home!
And  our  eternal home!
