our hope for years to come,

our shelter from the stormy blast,

Under the shadow of your throne

your saints have dwelt secure;

sufficient is your arm alone,

and our defense is sure.

from everlasting you are God,

C          G       F    G
A thousand ages in your sight

short as the watch that ends the night
  F        G      C
before the rising sun.

with all their lives and cares,
    Am      G        F       C/E
are carried downward by your flood,
    F       G         C
and lost in foll'wing years.

C             G       F    G
Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
      Am      D     G
bears all its sons away;

they fly forgotten, as a dream
     F      G       C
dies at the op'ning day.

O be our guard while troubles last,
    F    G      C
and our eternal home.
