Arranged by Brendan Elliget. Christian,Sacred. Score and parts. 40 pages. BJE Music #4794349. Published by BJE Music (A0.750906).Our God, Our Help in Ages Past is a hymn by Isaac Watts and paraphrases the 90th Psalm of the Book of Psalms. It originally consisted of nine stanzas. In present usage, however, the hymn is usually limited to stanzas one, two, three, five, seven and nine (6 Verses) (Methodist books also include the original sixth stanza). In 1738, John Wesley in his hymnal, Psalms and Hymns, changed the first line of the text from "Our God" to "O God." Both Watts' wording and Wesley's rewording remain in current use. [Wikipedia]
"O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home."
This arrangement is for concert band and includes parts for Eb and F Horns, Eb, Bb, and C Tubas and a chorded piano part (not on the score).
