O God Our Help

Track #6 on the CD Join The Chorus

This song is also titled Man Frail, and God Eternal - an appropriate title considering that it speaks of how easily we are washed away in the tide of time which buries us all in the forgotten pages of history.

Yet God is still our hope and our help through all the ages, and He is our eternal home!

O God Our Help In Ages Past
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 defense is sure.

Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting thou art good, To endless years the same.

Thy word commands our flesh to dust, "Return, ye sons of men:"
All nations rose from earth at first, And turn to earth again.

A thousand ages in thy sight Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun.

The busy tribes of flesh and blood, With all their lives and cares,
Are carried downward by the flood, And lost in following years.

Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day.

Like flowery fields the nations stand Pleased with the morning light;
The flowers beneath the mower's hand Lie withering ere 'tis night.

O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come,
Be thou our guard while troubles last, And our eternal home.
