Psalter number 247.  God Our Help and Hope - Psalm 90

 

1. O 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 defense is sure.

 

****

 

4. A thousand ages in Thy sight

Are like an evening gone,

Short as the watch that ends the night

Before the rising sun.

 

****
 

6. O God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come,

Be Thou our guard while troubles last,

And our eternal home.
