(The audience will please remain standing until the Choral Response lias been sung.)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 throneThy saints have dwelt secure;Sufficient is Thine arm, alone.And our defense is sure.

A thousand ages in Thy sightAre like an evening gone,Short as the watch that ends the nightBefore the rising sun. Amen.
