God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Difficult Times Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength, our ever present aid, and therefore, though the earth be moved, we will not be afraid– though hills into the seas be cast, though foaming waters roar, though all the mighty billows shake the mountains on the shore. 2 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 hasten to her aid when trouble is at hand. 3 The nations rage, the kingdoms move, but when his voice was heard, earth melts with trembling fear before the thunder of his word. The LORD of Hosts is on our side, our safety to secure; the God of Jacob is for us a refuge strong and sure. 4 O come and see what wondrous works the hand of God has done; come, see what desolation great he brings beneath the sun. In every corner of the earth he causes wars to cease; the weapons of the strong destroyed, he makes abiding peace. 5 "Be still and know that I am God, the LORD whom all must claim; and every nation of the earth shall magnify my name." The LORD of hosts is on our side, our safety to secure; the God of Jacob is for us a refuge strong and sure.
