God Is Our Refuge And Our Strength

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 sea be cast,

Though foaming waters roar,

Yes, though the mighty billows shake

The mountains on the shore.

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.

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 is secure;

The God of Jacob is for us

A refuge strong and sure.

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.

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 is secure;

The God of Jacob is for us

A refuge strong and sure.
