God is our Refuge and our Strength

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Mystery of God's Ways 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. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: MATERNA Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912
