The Church's Safety and Triumph among National Desolations

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #82 (1740) Topics: God our refuge in national troubles First Line: God is the Refuge of his Saints Lyrics: 1 God is the Refuge of his Saints, When Storms of sharp Distress invade E'er we can offer our Complaints, Behold him present with his Aid. 2 Let Mountains from their Seats be hurl'd Down to the Deep, and buried there; Convulsions shake the solid World, Our Faith shall never yield to Fear. 3 Loud may the troubl'd Ocean roar, In sacred Peace our Souls abide, While ev'ry Nation, ev'ry Shore, Trembles, and dreads the swelling Tide. 4 There is a Stream, whose gentle Flow Supplies the City of our GOD; Life, Love, and Joy still gliding through, And wat'ring our divine Abode. 5 That sacred Stream, thine holy Word, That all our raging Fear controuls: Sweet Peace thy Promises afford, And give new Strength to fainting Souls. 6 Sion enjoys her Monarch's Love, Secure against a threat'ning Hour; Nor can her firm Foundations move, Built on his Truth, and arm'd with Pow'r.

Thou, Lord, hast proved and tested us As silver tried by fire Thy hand has made our burden great And thwarted our desire 2 Thro' pain and trouble Thou hast led, And humbled all our pride; But, in the end, to liberty And wealth Thy hand did guide. Here in Thy house I give to Thee The life that Thou dost bless, And pay the solemn vows I made When I was in distress. 3 Come, ye that fear the Lord, and hear What He has done for me; My cry for help is turned to praise, For He has set me free. If in my heart I sin regard, My prayer He will not hear; But truly God has heard my voice, My prayer has reached His ear. 4 O let the Lord, our gracious God, Forever blessed be, Who has not turned my prayer from Him, Nor yet His grace from me. O all ye peoples, bless our God, Aloud proclaim His praise, Who safely holds our soul in life, And steadfast makes our ways. Scripture: Psalm 66 Languages: English Tune Title: ANCYRA

And for these our souls shall raise Grateful vows and solemn praise. 4 Yet should rising whirlwinds tear From its stem the rip'ning ear; Should the fig-tree's blasted shoot Drop her green untimely fruit: 5 Should the vine put forth no more, Nor the olive yield her store: Though the sick'ning flocks should fall, And the herds desert the stall: 6 Should thine alter'd hand restrain Vernal show'rs and latter rain, Blast each op'ning bud of joy, And the rising year destroy: 7 Yet to thee our souls shall raise Grateful vows and solemn praise; And, when ev'ry blessing's flown, Love thee—for thyself alone!

The Lord of old for Jacob fought, And Jacob's God is still our aid: Behold the works his hand has wrought, What desolations he has made! From sea to sea, through all the shores, He makes the noise of battle cease; When from on high his thunder roars, He awes the trembling world to peace. He breaks the bow, he cuts the spear Chariots he burns with heav'nly flame; Keep silence, all the earth, and hear The sound and glory of his name. "Be still, and learn that I am God; I'll be exalted o'er the lands; I will be known and feared abroad; But still my throne in Zion stands." O Lord of hosts, Almighty King, While we so near thy presence dwell, Our faith shall sit secure, and sing Defiance to the gates of hell. Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English
