O God our help in ages past by Isaac Watts (1719). Performed by St Martin's Voices

Author: Isaac Watts (1719) Copyright: Public Domain Artist: St Martin's Voices, St. Martins-in-the-Fields About this hymn "O God, Our Help in Ages Past" is a hymn by Isaac Watts, written in 1719 as a paraphrase of Psalm 90. Watts, known for his significant contributions to hymnody, shifted traditional hymn writing by incorporating personal reflection into scriptural texts. The music, composed by William Croft and named "St. Anne," was added in 1708. This combination of Watts' lyrics and Croft's music has established the hymn as a significant piece in Christian worship, emphasizing the theme of God's unchanging nature and enduring presence throughout history.

Lyrics 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 thy saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is thine arm alone, and our defence 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. Time, like an ever-rolling stream, bears all its sons away; they fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the opening day. O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, be thou our guard while troubles last, and our eternal home. ----------- Looking for an Anglican Church near you?
