God is Our Refuge and Our Strength

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Nations Lyrics: 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 amidst the seas be cast, Though foaming waters roar, Yea, though the mighty billows shake The mountains on the shore. 2 A river flows whose streams make glad The city of our God, The holy place wherein 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. 3 The nations raged, the kingdoms moved, But when His voice was heard The troubled earth was stilled to peace Before His mighty word. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our safety to secure; The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure. 4 O come, behold what wondrous works Jehovah's hand has wrought; Come, see what desolation great He on the earth has brought. To utmost ends of all the earth He causes war to cease; The weapons of the strong destroyed, He makes abiding peace. 5 Be still and know that I am God, O'er all exalted high; The subject nations of the earth My Name shall magnify. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our safety to secure; The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: MATERNA

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank M. North Appears in 371 hymnals Topics: National; National Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, Where sound the cries of race and clan, Above the noise of selfish strife, We hear Thy voice, O Son of man! 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, On shadowed thresholds dark with fears, From paths where hide the lures of greed, We catch the vision of Thy tears. 3 The cup of water giv'n for thee Stills holds the freshness of Thy grace; Yet long these multitudes to see The sweet compassion of Thy face. 4 O Master, from the mountain side, Make haste to heal these hearts of pain, Among these restless throngs abide, O tread the city's streets again; 5 Till sons of men shall learn Thy love, And follow where Thy feet have trod; Till glorious from Thy heav'n above Shall come the city of our God. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 10:42 Used With Tune: [Where cross the crowded ways of life]
