Song: Our God, Our Help in Ages Past

This is a nice hymn, though rather old. I have modernized some of the words, but minimal changes were made overall. Here is it.

Our God, Our Help in Ages Past
Words: Isaac Watts
Music: William Croft

1:
      G             C         D    G
Our God, our help in ages past,
                        A           D
Our hope for years to come,
        Em      A           C         D
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
       Am7   D       G
And our eternal home.

2:
Under the shadow of Your throne
Your saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Your arm alone,
And our defense is sure.

3:
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting You are God,
To endless years the same.

9:
Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
You be our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home.
