1 God is our refuge and our strength,
our ever-present aid,
and therefore, though the earth be moved,
we will not be afraid;

2 Though hills amid the seas be cast,
though foaming waters roar,
yea, though the mighty billows shake
the mountains on the shore.

3 Where God abides a river flows;
that city will rejoice.
But nations fear and kingdoms shake
before God's thundering voice.

4 Since God is in the midst of it,
the city walls shall stand,
secure and safe with God's sure help,
when trouble is at hand.
