God is the refuge of His saints

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 470 hymnals Topics: Scriptures God's word Lyrics: 1 God is the refuge of His saints, When storms of sharp distress invade; Ere we can offer our complaints, Behold Him present with His aid! 2 Let mountains from their seats be hurled Down to the deep, and buried there, Convulsions shake the solid world, Our faith shall never yield to fear. 3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar; In sacred peace our souls abide; While every nation, every 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 watering our divine abode. 5 That sacred stream, Thy living word, Thus all our anxious fear controls; Sweet peace Thy promises afford, And give new strength to fainting souls. 6 Zion enjoys her Monarch's love, Secure against the threatening hour; Nor can her firm foundation move, Built on His faithfulness and power.

I love the sacred book of God

Author: Thomas Kelly Appears in 93 hymnals Topics: Worship Holy Scriptures Lyrics: 1 I love the sacred book of God, No other can its place supply; It points me to the saints' abode, And bids me from destruction fly. 2 Sweet book! in thee my eyes discern The image of my absent Lord; From my instructive page I learn The joys his presence will afford. 3 But while I'm here, thou shalt supply His place, and tell me of his love; I'll read with faith's discerning eye, And thus partake of joys above. 4 Within thy sacred lids is found A transcript of my Maker's will; Treasures of knowledge here abound, The deepest, loftiest mind to fill. 5 Light of the world, thy beams impart, To lead my feet through life's dark way; O, shine on this benighted heart, Nor let me from thy guidance stray.
