1. God is our Refuge, where we're safe,
Our Strength by whom we stand;
He is a very present Help,
When Troubles are at Hand.
2. Therefore, we will not be afraid,
Tho' th' Earth should be displac'd;
Tho' Mountains, torn from their deep Roots,
Were in the Mid-Sea cast.
3. Should Storms ferment, and rouse the Deep,
And make the Waters roar;
And the swol'n Billows Mountains shake,
With Dashings on the Shore.
4. A River's gentle Streams makes glad
The City of our God;
There the Most-High, his sacred Tent,
Has fix'd, for his Abode.
5. God, in the Midst of her presides,
She unremov'd is stay'd;
From early Dawn of fittest Time,
God will afford her Aid.
6. The Heathen rag'd, Kingdoms were mov'd,
In Tumults were envolv'd;
But God gave forth his pow'rfull Word,
And all the Earth dissolv'd.
7. The Lord of Hosts is on our Side,
And will our Cause defend;
The mighty God of Jacob is
Our Refuge, and our Friend.
8. Come, see what wondrous Works, the Lord,
For us, hath newly wrought!
What dreadful Desolations, he,
Upon the Earth, hath brought!
9. He makest Wars to cease, our Foes,
No more, our Hurt conspire;
He breaks the Bow, and Spear, and burns
The Chariot in the Fire.
10. Be still, and know that I am God;
I will exalt my Name,
In heathen Lands, and thro' the Earth,
Extoll'd shall be my Fame.
11. The Lord of Hosts is on our Side,
He will our Cause defend;
The mighty God of Jacob is
Our Refuge, and our Friend.
