SCRIPTURE LESSON

HYMN: 4 A thousand ages in thy sight,

1 0 God. our help in ages past, Are like an evening gone.
Our hope for years to come,
Short as the watch that ends the night
Our shelter from the stormY blast,
And our eternal home! Before the rising sun. '

2 Under the shadow of thy throne 5 Time, like an ever rolling stream
Still maY we dwell secur~
Bears an its sons away; •
Sufficient is thy arm alone,
And our defense is sure. They fly, forgotten, as a dream

3 Before the hills in order stood, Die. at the opening day.
Or earth received her frame,
6 0 God, our help in ages past,
From everlasting thou art God, Our hope for years to come;
To endless years the same.
Be thou our guide while life shall last,
BACCALAUREATE SERMON
And our perpetual home!
