So reminiscent of our God.He is relevant and powerful through out all the ages.He lives forever.Glory,praise and honor to the Almighty and everlasting God 🙏🙏🙏
This hymn has been running through my head the past few days....with the pandemic going on. Thankful for our God and He has always been our help and always will as we stay close to Him. Perspective....of thousand ages and situations....still.... May we always cling to Him.
This hymn came into my spirit shortly after waking up this morning and it was so compelling that I googled to find the lyrics and ended up here. He is our help and refuge in this time of trouble, and as believers, our job is to share the good news of Christ’s salvation so that others have the opportunity of experiencing the peace that a knowledge, acceptance and reciprocation of God’s love bring. May we always cling to Him indeed.
I woke up singing this song today. The music by this choir is so angelic with voices blending so well. Would like to see the tone colour and facial expressions
Thank you for this beautiful rendition of this hymn! During this pandemic, we were able to share this music with our congregation in their homes to aid in worship. Thank you for this blessing!
"Be thou our guard while life shall last, And our eternal home." May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us-- yes, establish the work of our hands." Psalm 90: 17,
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
We thank You Lord God for this grace in which we stand, grace to keep Thy Ten Commandments. O Holy Trinity one God have mercy upon us and upon all the Churches and the whole wide world.
Bless this place O Christ we pray and open here a door that no one can shut and grant that soon there will be one Church and one fold and one Shepherd.
Amen...so enriching...so solemn...so melodious...it brings one down to his/her knees. Indeed God has been our Help in ages past and He's our Hope and our Shelter
Yes...my brother! The solemnity of the Almighty can give us assurance that no matter the circumstance, the Omnipotent God can overrule all for our good (Roman's 8:28).
We thank You Lord God that all Your words are true and that all You predict always comes to pass and that You are here with us in this place and that You hear and answer prayer and that when we know not what to ask You help us with Your Holy Spirit.
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, Thy saints have dwelt 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. A thousand ages in thy sight Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be thou our guard while life shall last, And our eternal home!
A beutiful sounding choir. This song was written by Isaac Watts for Psalm 90 but it's unfortunate it really doesn't convey the essense of Psalm 90 as you can see by reading the original You have been our dwelling place A prayer of intercession The old man slowly placed one step in front of the other. Full of days he climbed the mountain. Carefully, intentionally. The last month he had told of the blessings of God's dealings in his life He had blessed the people recounting how God came down to a mountain to speak to them Faced with life’s end before the man he was once again be the mountain climber Much younger, he had climbed through frightening clouds with thunder Today, placing one step in front of the other, steadfast, just as prepared to meet his God And from the peaks, thought back on the difficulties of his journey of life A decree would cause his journey to take a lifetime, hopes deferred A hard decree because of hard hearts All would die wandering, never seeing the land All but the few who saw then by faith and the children Pressing on, soon he will see with his own eyes what they saw by faith On the doorsteps of going into 'the promised land' his sister died, then in another blow on another mountain, his brother would die as he watched. He buried his brother himself. Dealing with the grief of his losses he wrote a prayer partly for himself and also for the people Forty years now wandered in the dessert Living in a tent surrounded by people in tents Long centuries slaves in Egypt Our father’s wandered almost without property to speak of He begins to preach it to himself for strength. “But You, have been our dwelling place. Though all these generations every one Before mountains like this one I stand on or the others around it ever were Before the worlds were made From everlasting past to everlasting future You are God, lord, master, owner, adonai,”, he prays. He pressed on toward the peak. His brother, his sister, and himself would not go into the land His life would end, as he spent most of his life, 'a stranger in a strange land', never home. “You ordain us to return to the dust which we came Generation after generation you carry men away like a flood to their end. They live. They die. A thousand years to you are the same as a few passing hours in the night, soon gone. We wake at the end of life and don't realize where the time went as if awakened from a long sleep. We are like a plant that sprouts and dies the same day. Just a day. Just one day. Teach us to number our days that We may present to you a heart of wisdom. The stormy blast of your anger brings us to an end, Yahweh, our covenant God, we have felt your anger, your wrath. We felt it all our days. Our most private sins are plainly before you gaze Although an old man of 120, the old man now looking down at the people says 'We' live 70, maybe 80 years and in the end much is hard labor and sorrow, we end, we sigh, we fly away" He stood and looked. Finally now at the top He continues identifying with the people and intercedes for children and children's children "You decree we return to dust; decree we return to rejoicing. Return to us. Satisfy us with mercy. Do it soon." Knowing his own life would not last another day, he continued thinking of others. "Fill each day with gladness, as many as are left." Once he had asked God to show him God's glory but had been shown God's back, God's goodness. Recalling "no one can see my glory and live," he asks a final request for the people." His appeal for leniency turns to an appeal for blessing in God. He thought on his own failures. He would not enter the land, not in this life as hoped, but he will be given a glimpse. Like Jacob he wrestles on, as if with the angel, hoping to be blessed. "Yahweh our Elohim, Let your invisible work appear to us. Let your glory be apparent to our children Open the eyes of our hearts wide Let your beauty rub off on us. He began with God preceding cosmic and alpine works of his hands He moves to the work of our hands Establish the work of our hands. Establish the work of our hands, " petition done. The old man looked out over the mountain, last worshipful intervention over. He would look but not enter The prayer of the man of God The prayer of Moses The oldest Psalm Psalm 90 The Psalm with “Teach us to number our days” appears from the deep past. The fourth book of Psalms opens with his prayer. Numbers a book both of seemingly endless roaming and sure approach of destination. Book 4, poetically echoes the journey wanderings of Numbers. Songs to be reflected on by those who have lives sojourning as 'strangers in a strange land'. Two Psalms of dwelling open book four "Thou has been our dwelling place", Psalm 90 "Those who dwell in the secret place of the most high", Psalm 91 Two final songs. Book four will end with two long recounts of a wider journey Both covering long centuries Behold what God has done for Israel, history told thankfully, Psalm 105. Behold what Israel has done to God, history told penitentialy, Psalm 106. Two final words Amen and Hallelujah Book four closes. Book five Anticipation of the promised land. Moses did make it to the promised land, More that he would ever hope and on another mountain top Discussing another departure from this world, an exodus, a greater one, through a greater than Moses No longer 'a stranger in a strange land', but home.
Mike Whirlingmerc Do you mind, sir, if I cite you, and copy and paste this excellent integration of psalm 90 with the final moments of Moses, the man of God? I desire to share it on Facebook for all my friends to see, being the day after Anzac day, a day commemorating the fallen dead, who gave their today for our tomorrow, let us therefore not forget the great price, not only these wizened war veterans paid, nor Moses long before them, nor any of the martyrs, Witnesses, all of them, of the Living Faith that is ours is not in vain, but all of these testifying to the One Sacrifice for us all, the Mystery on Mount Calvery, the reality of Mount Moriah, where God the Father led His Only Begotten Son to the Altar of Burnt Offering as it was ordained before the foundation of the ages. There, behold, HaShem Jireh! God provided a Lamb, without Spot or Blemish, examined with great ferocity by the Elders of Israel and Judah concerning the origin of His Authority, by the Pharisees, the Sadducees, by the Lawyer, and passing all tests with flying colours, He tested them concerning Himself, a test all His examiners miserably failed. Finally, even the Gentile judges, whether Pontius Pilate, nor his wife, not Herod, could find any fault with Him, and thus, proven faultless and without blemish, according to the Law of Moses concerning the Passover Offering, He was the Unique One qualified to die a propitiatory death for our sins. This He did willingly, the only Sinless among all the human race out of every tribe, nation and tongue. And behold, thus did God transform His Only Begotten Son into the Firstborn from the Dead, thereby, gaining many sons, of whom we too, are counted/are included. Therefore, the Type is fulfilled in full, as in the shadow of the real, the moment God saw that Abraham would not withhold even his only heir from God, demonstrating the supremacy of God in Abraham's personal universe, where even his own heir could not usurp his God's Throne as the unique Object of Worship, Service and Adoration, God was pleased to rename Abram to Abraham, from the exalted father, a very selfish and Chaldean and Babylonian name, to Abraham, the father of a multitude, a far more suitable name for the fulfillment of God's Eternal Purpose as delineated in the beginning in Genesis 1:26-28. And God was therefore pleased to multiply this one Isaac exceedingly, so that he would be as many as the grains of sand on the seashore, symbolising the earthly/fleshly sons of Abraham, the Israelites or Jews of today, a borderland of the Good Land of Canaan, assailed endlessly by the ravaging, ravenous waves of the gentile nations, hungry to consume them off the face of the earth. But God also multiplied Isaac to as many as the stars in the heavens are, innumerable, signifying us, Abraham's heavenly descendants, who's mother, as Paul writes, is the heavenly Jerusalem, the one written of in Revelation 21-22, who is symbolised by the free woman, Sarah! Therefore, God truly can call all the stars by name, for each star represents one of us, a heavenly child of Abraham, who were born weak, vile, stunted, lame, blind, evil, deaf, dumb, dead and leprous, mostly despised by Abraham's fleshly descendants as the 'uncircumcision'. But today's Jews, regrettably, the majority, continue in slavery with the earthly Jerusalem, symbolised by both Mt Sinai in Egypt (or just outside), and Hagar, the Egyptian maidservant, trapped forever between the eternal rest in the Good Land of Canaan and the land of condemnation, the land of Egypt, cursed 10 times by God to expose to all what life is like when stripped of the salvation of Jesus: from death (the river Nile, signifying the earthly supply, both entrainment wise, and provision wise as well as protection wise) to death (the ending of the life of all firstborn, signifying that the Egyptian lifestyle has no hope, whatever Mammon there may be. It leads only to death and judgement). Like a pillar of salt, like Lot's wife, our Israelite brethren are struggling in vain to free themselves from their sinful flesh by the exercise of their sinful flesh, a completely futile exercise. May Jesus have mercy on them, and us, so that we may indeed see that He Is the fulfillment of His Name, the Salvation of Jah! Or Jah, our Saviour!
Unfortunately most people don't know who God is.They pray to something impersonal.But the fact is Krishna is God the supreme personality of Godhead.All the six qualities of God were exhibited by Lord Krishna when he appeared 5000 years and spoke to his dear devotee Arjuna on the confidential topics of his activities on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.
So beautiful. I'm Lilli Ann Cera, the Worship Head of St. John UMC Philippines, asking permission for this video music to be used in our online worship. Shalom
I believe a verse is not included here, a verse that was the reason I searched for this hymn: 5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, soon bears us all away; we fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the op’ning day.
Romans 8:7-17 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by The Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear: but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
You are worshipping the wrong god. There is only one true God. Jehovah. The others are made up by Satan, to distract you from the true living God.If it is not from Almighty God, then it's from Satan to deceive you.
So reminiscent of our God.He is relevant and powerful through out all the ages.He lives forever.Glory,praise and honor to the Almighty and everlasting God 🙏🙏🙏
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1
This hymn has been running through my head the past few days....with the pandemic going on. Thankful for our God and He has always been our help and always will as we stay close to Him. Perspective....of thousand ages and situations....still.... May we always cling to Him.
I was singing it my mind when I woke up this morning. God Bless you, and be safe.

Me too! It's pretty much the theme song for me during this time
Its truly an anthem and prayer in these trying times.
@@mariellenrose6198 l also had this song on my mind as well; waking up to it.
The relevance of a song written 302 years ago in our world today is amazing. What a great God we have.
Amen. Halleluyah.
Always gives me courage. Ever since I was a child. Blessings
Listening to this glorious hymn starts the year with renewed confidence in our Great and glorious God and Christ His Son our Saviour
Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 124:8

"Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations." -Psalm 90:1
I woke up singing this song today. The music by this choir is so angelic with voices blending so well. Would like to see the tone colour and facial expressions
Thank you for this beautiful rendition of this hymn! During this pandemic, we were able to share this music with our congregation in their homes to aid in worship. Thank you for this blessing!
A thousand years to God is just like the evening gone.
Been thinking of this hymn all night. We need to trust God.
Jesus is so worthy of our trust!
"Be thou our guard while life shall last, And our eternal home." May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us-- yes, establish the work of our hands." Psalm 90: 17,
One of my all-time favorite hymns, EVER! Touches me every time. So well done! Brilliant!
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
What a heart wrenching true to every day and generation hymn. Simply lovely!
We thank You Lord God for this grace in which we stand, grace to keep Thy Ten Commandments. O Holy Trinity one God have mercy upon us and upon all the Churches and the whole wide world.
Bless this place O Christ we pray and open here a door that no one can shut and grant that soon there will be one Church and one fold and one Shepherd.
Bless us O God to have right thoughts and hearts and minds and right words of prayer.
We thank You Lord God that You are here with us in this place and know all our needs and hear and answer prayers.

POignant on the day that Queen Elizabeth died after 70 years of her monarchy! God bless her & our world !
Amen...so enriching...so solemn...so melodious...it brings one down to his/her knees. Indeed God has been our Help in ages past and He's our Hope and our Shelter
Yes...my brother! The solemnity of the Almighty can give us assurance that no matter the circumstance, the Omnipotent God can overrule all for our good (Roman's 8:28).
My favorite ❤ Hauntingly Beautiful. I tear up every Remembrance Day when they play this during the ceremony

Thank you for this hymn. It reminds me of my childhood. Amen
This song is so relevant to the world's present situation.
Our shelter from this 'viral' blast...and our Eternal Home. O God have mercy.

Amen Hallelujah!! Thank you God. Thank you for praise of grace song, I will share
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,
Thy saints have dwelt 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.
A thousand ages in thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be thou our guard while life shall last,
And our eternal home!
O for a faith to keep these words in mind! "Believe and thou shalt see the glory of God".
Just found out that this hymn was sung at church service on the Titanic the day it collided with the iceberg and sank. Amazing!!
Today, 25 June 2015, I sang along with you. This was a suggested hymn for the Office of Readings in today's Liturgy Of The Hours.
Isn't God's inspiration timeless? Valid today as well as 1000 years ago.
Be my help and my guard oh God, while life shall last.. amen
Jesus says all things are made known to He who believes in Him. I believe.
I’m not religious, but I do love this hymn.
Praise the Lord. Thanku very much Jesus Ur GRACE ENOUGH .Ur Everlasting love you Jesus
Issac Watts.His Hymns are a great Blessing and inspiration!
Praise God
Praise God! God Bless!
Amen. Reign supreme now and forever.
I love this version, beautiful!
my favourite song... I love to hear always
Fantastic, Thank you God bless
Indeed God has been our helper 🙏
A beutiful sounding choir. This song was written by Isaac Watts for Psalm 90 but it's unfortunate it really doesn't convey the essense of Psalm 90 as you can see by reading the original
You have been our dwelling place
A prayer of intercession
The old man slowly placed one step in front of the other.
Full of days he climbed the mountain.
Carefully, intentionally.
The last month he had told of the blessings of God's dealings in his life
He had blessed the people recounting how God came down to a mountain to speak to them
Faced with life’s end before the man he was once again be the mountain climber
Much younger, he had climbed through frightening clouds with thunder
Today, placing one step in front of the other, steadfast, just as prepared to meet his God
And from the peaks, thought back on the difficulties of his journey of life
A decree would cause his journey to take a lifetime, hopes deferred
A hard decree because of hard hearts
All would die wandering, never seeing the land
All but the few who saw then by faith and the children
Pressing on, soon he will see with his own eyes what they saw by faith
On the doorsteps of going into 'the promised land' his sister died,
then in another blow on another mountain, his brother would die as he watched.
He buried his brother himself.
Dealing with the grief of his losses he wrote a prayer partly for himself and also for the people
Forty years now wandered in the dessert
Living in a tent surrounded by people in tents
Long centuries slaves in Egypt
Our father’s wandered almost without property to speak of
He begins to preach it to himself for strength.
“But You, have been our dwelling place.
Though all these generations every one
Before mountains like this one I stand on or the others around it ever were
Before the worlds were made
From everlasting past to everlasting future
You are God, lord, master, owner, adonai,”, he prays.
He pressed on toward the peak.
His brother, his sister, and himself would not go into the land
His life would end, as he spent most of his life, 'a stranger in a strange land', never home.
“You ordain us to return to the dust which we came
Generation after generation you carry men away like a flood to their end. They live. They die.
A thousand years to you are the same as a few passing hours in the night, soon gone.
We wake at the end of life and don't realize where the time went as if awakened from a long sleep.
We are like a plant that sprouts and dies the same day.
Just a day. Just one day. Teach us to number our days that
We may present to you a heart of wisdom.
The stormy blast of your anger brings us to an end,
Yahweh, our covenant God, we have felt your anger, your wrath. We felt it all our days.
Our most private sins are plainly before you gaze
Although an old man of 120, the old man now looking down at the people says
'We' live 70, maybe 80 years and in the end much is hard labor and sorrow, we end, we sigh, we fly away"
He stood and looked. Finally now at the top
He continues identifying with the people and intercedes for children and children's children
"You decree we return to dust; decree we return to rejoicing.
Return to us. Satisfy us with mercy. Do it soon."
Knowing his own life would not last another day, he continued thinking of others.
"Fill each day with gladness, as many as are left."
Once he had asked God to show him God's glory but had been shown God's back, God's goodness.
Recalling "no one can see my glory and live," he asks a final request for the people."
His appeal for leniency turns to an appeal for blessing in God.
He thought on his own failures.
He would not enter the land, not in this life as hoped, but he will be given a glimpse.
Like Jacob he wrestles on, as if with the angel, hoping to be blessed.
"Yahweh our Elohim,
Let your invisible work appear to us.
Let your glory be apparent to our children
Open the eyes of our hearts wide
Let your beauty rub off on us.
He began with God preceding cosmic and alpine works of his hands
He moves to the work of our hands
Establish the work of our hands.
Establish the work of our hands, " petition done.
The old man looked out over the mountain, last worshipful intervention over.
He would look but not enter
The prayer of the man of God
The prayer of Moses
The oldest Psalm
Psalm 90
The Psalm with “Teach us to number our days” appears from the deep past.
The fourth book of Psalms opens with his prayer.
Numbers a book both of seemingly endless roaming and sure approach of destination.
Book 4, poetically echoes the journey wanderings of Numbers.
Songs to be reflected on by those who have lives sojourning as 'strangers in a strange land'.
Two Psalms of dwelling open book four
"Thou has been our dwelling place", Psalm 90
"Those who dwell in the secret place of the most high", Psalm 91
Two final songs.
Book four will end with two long recounts of a wider journey
Both covering long centuries
Behold what God has done for Israel, history told thankfully, Psalm 105.
Behold what Israel has done to God, history told penitentialy, Psalm 106.
Two final words
Amen and Hallelujah
Book four closes.
Book five
Anticipation of the promised land.
Moses did make it to the promised land,
More that he would ever hope and on another mountain top
Discussing another departure from this world, an exodus, a greater one, through a greater than Moses
No longer 'a stranger in a strange land', but home.

this is so beautiful and well written
This used to be my school prayer.... I miss this prayer

Beuatiful hymm may god bless you..
I do really enjoy this one done so well. Right now though it won't come up! I don't know why?
God bless you

So beautiful. I'm Lilli Ann Cera, the Worship Head of St. John UMC Philippines, asking permission for this video music to be used in our online worship. Shalom
This is giving me a good feeling
I LOVE IT
A lovely melody that surpasses religious context.
The young people may not know this beautiful hymn.
I believe a verse is not included here, a verse that was the reason I searched for this hymn:
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
soon bears us all away;
we fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the op’ning day.
I heard this song in my spirit
beautiful video!
Wonderfully done.
I like this song
I want this sung at my funeral (though that will be a long way off)
Peter Downey Holy God, We Praise Thy Name
You know exactly when you'll die Peter Downey?
We never know. Death can come to us at any moment.
Beautiful
Amen.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by The Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear: but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Oh my! This was sung on the Titanic on that maiden voyage!
Amen

Beautiful rendition. Where can I get the sheet music for this arrangement?
Can I use this video in our churches livestream service this Sunday?
Could we get permission to share this at a worship service, it will be on Zoom?
I don't see why not!
Hello, would I be allowed to use this video for a small virtual worship service? (About 20 people max)
I don"t see why not!
I always liked how this hymn incorporates elements of Eastern spirituality....'our eternal Ohmmmmmm' :)
You are worshipping the wrong god. There is only one true God. Jehovah. The others are made up by Satan, to distract you from the true living God.If it is not from Almighty God, then it's from Satan to deceive you.
