Now Again The World Is Shaken

Author: Henry J. van Dyke Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now again the world is shaken, Tempests break on sea and shore; Earth with ruin overtaken, Trembles while the storm winds roar. He abideth who confideth, God is God forevermore. 2 Thrones are falling, heathen raging, Peoples dreaming as of yore Vain imaginations, waging Man with man, unmeaning war. He abideth who confideth, Christ is King forevermore. 3 Human wisdom in confusion, Casts away the forms it wore; Ancient error, new illusion, Lose the phantom fruit they bore. He abideth who confideth, Truth is truth forevermore. 4 Right eternal, Love immortal, Built the house where we adore; Mercy is its golden portal, Virtue its unshaken floor. He abideth who confideth, God is God forevermore. Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE Text Sources: Thy Sea is Great, Our Boat is Small (New York: Fleming h. Revell, 1922)
