O God, Our Help In Ages Past by Isaac Watts

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 They 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 God, To endless years the same.

A thousand ages in Thy sight Are and 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 of years to come, Be Thou our guard while life shall last, And our eternal home.

-May our loving heavenly Father remind you today of His love and grace towards you. May He bring to your mind that His mighty right arm is sufficient to protect and provide for your every need, and far more than you ever imagined. May He call to your memory that He has purchased you with the high price of His Son, so that you may be with Him for eternity.

O what a Savior! O what a God!
