Today’s hymn sung by St Martins in the Fields is: O God our help in ages past

O God our help in ages past

sung by the Choral Scholars of St Martin-in-the-Fields

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

thy saints have dwelt secure;

sufficient is thine arm alone,

and our defence 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 its sons 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 guard while troubles last,

and our eternal home.

Isaac Watts (1674-1748)
