Our 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.
Words by Isaac Watts

I'm glad this blessed you, ladies! The idea for the post came as I was listening to the hymn being sung and decided to look over 2012's happenings for some appropriate photos. It's amazing how nature can help illustrate spiritual concepts.

We just sung this hymn last Wednesday night and how fun to see your photos with the lyrics. (I'm sorry I'm behind in reading posts:) ) Hannah, you always take such beautiful photos and these were perfect choices for this hymn. Thank you.
