Thy saints have dWelt secure;
Sumcient t. thine arm alone.
And our dcfense II sure.
Before the hills in order stood.
Or earth received her franc,
From everlasting thou art God
To endless .earS the same.
4 thousand ages In thy sish:.
Are ike an evening gone;
Short as a watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
Time. like IN ever-ro!i!ne stream
Bears all It's sons away:
They ny. forgotten. a. . dream
Dies at the opening day.
Our Col cur help In ages PAST.
our hope 20: years 10 come.
T.. thou our guard while troubles last.
And our eternal home.
