“O God, Our Help in Ages Past” is an arrangement for orchestra of the well-known hymn written by Isaac Watts set to a melody composed by William Croft in 1708. The hymn itself has become a traditional part of Remembrance Day ceremonies in Canada and is present here in that context. It has been arranged to accompany an audience singing three verses of the hymn in a congregational style.
