O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Psalm 46
1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed,
and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,
though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
Worship Suggestion
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time (During Verse 1),
make remarks about the faithfulness of the Lord.
He is compassionate and a refuge for us in all things.
Our God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
2. As the song continues (During Verses 2 - 3), read the
scripture from Psalms 46: 1 - 5, 11. Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1 - 3 together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.
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,
still may we dwell 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.
