The Hymnal ‎#91

91. God is our Refuge and our Strength

1 God is our Refuge and our Strength,
In straits a present aid;
Therefore, although the earth remove,
We will not be afraid;

2 Though hills amidst the seas be cast;
Though waters roaring make
And troubled be; yea, though the hills
By swelling seas do shake.

3 A river is, whose streams make glad
The city of our God;
The holy place, wherein the Lord
Most high hath His abode.

4 God in the midst of her doth dwell;
And nothing shall her move;
The Lord to her an helper will,
And that right early, prove.

Amen.
