Hymn vv. 1-3
Hymn: O God, Our Help. Tune: St Anne
1. O God our help in ages past Our hope for years to come our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home! 2. Under the shadow of thy throne thy saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is thine arm alone and our defence is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood, or earth received her frame, from everlasting thou art God, to endless years the same.
Prayer of Remembrance
Minister: Tryst
They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
All: We will remember them.

Hymn vv. 4-6
4. A thousand ages in thy sight are like an evening gone; short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun. 5 Time like an ever rolling stream, bears all its sons away; they fly forgotten as a dream dies at the opening day. 6 O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, be thou our guard while troubles last, and our eternal home!
