A Hymn For The New Month

O God, our Help in ages past

Our Hope for years to come

Our Shelter from the stormy blast

And our Eternal Home

Beneath the Shadow of Thy Throne

Thy saints have dwelt secure

Sufficient is Thine Arm alone

And our Defence 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 like an evening gone

Short the watch that keeps 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 for years to come

Be Thou our Guard while troubles last

And our Eternal Home
