O God, Our Help in Ages Past

O God, Our Help in Ages Past

When Issac Watts, was a teenager in the late 1600s he used to complain
about the old fashioned songs they sang at church. Tired of his
complaining, after church one one Sunday, his father said "why don't
you give us something better to sing?" And so, at age 18, Issac
began writing a new, and at the time. very controversial type of music
hymns. Including this paraphrase of Psalm 90, "O God Our help in Ages
Past".
