Psalm 90:1-5 NIV

1   Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout
     all generations.

2   Before the mountains were born or you brought forth
     the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting
     you are God.

3   You turn men back to dust, saying, "Return to dust,
     O sons of men."

4   For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that
     has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.

5   You sweep men away in the sleep of death; they are
     like the new grass of the morning--

Hymn O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Words by Issac Watts Music by William Croft

                            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,
                                    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 God,
                                    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 God, our help in ages past,
                                    our hope for years to come;
                                    be thou our guide while life shall last,
                                    and our eternal home.
