O God Our Help in Ages Past

 



Stay with Me in the stillness

Hold onto this silence

Rest here is secure

 

I see people moving

Their hearts are stirred as one

Together they are listening

 

Golden specks are falling

Raining down then glowing

Peace right here abounds

 

Softly singing in their hearts

A hymn of long ago

 

“O God our help in ages past

Our hope for years to come

Our shelter from the stormy blast

And our eternal home

 

Within the shadow of thy throne

Still, may we dwell secure

Sufficient is thy arm alone

And our defense is secure

 

Before the hills in order stood

Or earth received her frame

From everlasting thou art God

To endless years the same

 

O God our help in ages past

Our hope for years to come

Be thou your guide while life shall last

And our eternal home”

 

As I listen to this hymn

My soul was finally at rest

The blessing in those words

Keep me fully in rest

 

Our destiny is sure

We are not alone

Rest is what we are called to

There we release heaven’s frequency
