1 O G-d, 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, still may we dwell secure; sufficient is thine arm alone, and our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood, or earth received her frame, from everlasting, thou art G-d, to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages, in thy sight, are like an evening gone; short as the watch that ends the night, before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever rolling stream, bears all who breathe away; they fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the opening day.
6 O G-d, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come; be thou our guide while life shall last, and our eternal home.
