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 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, thy holy Word, 
Our grief allays, our fear controls; 
Sweet peace thy promises afford, 
And give new strength to fainting souls.  
6 Zion enjoys her Monarch's love, 
Secure against a threat'ning hour; 
Nor can her firm foundations move, 
Built on his truth, and armed with pow'r.  
Amen. Topics: The Church The Covenant People; The Church Security of; God Refuge; Mystery of God's Ways; Post Communion; Tribulation and Suffering; Trust in God Scripture: Psalm 46 Tune Title: WARD
