God is our refuge and our strength
"God is our refuge and strength" Psa. 46:1
God is our refuge and our strength,
Our ever present aid,
And, therefore though the earth remove,
We will not be afraid;
Though hills a-midst the seas be-ceasts,
Though foaming waters roar,
Yea, though the mighty billows shake
The mountains on the shore.
A river flows whose streams make glad
The city of our God.
The holy place where in the Lord
Most high has His abode;
Since God is in the midst of her,
Unmoved her walls shall stand,
For God will be her early help,
When trouble is at hand.
The heathen raged tumultuously,
The kingdoms tottereth;
The Lord God uttered his voice,
The earth did melt for fear.
The Lord of hosts is on our side
Our safety to maintain;
The God of Jacob doth for us
A refuge high remain.
