LyicsGod is our refuge and our strength,
In straits a present aid;
Therefore although the earth remove
We will not be afraid:
Though hills amidst the seas be cast;
Though waters roaring make,
And troubled be; yea, though the hills
By swelling seas do shake.
A river is, whose streams do glad
The city of our God;
The holy place, wherein the Lord
Most high hath his abode.
God in the midst of her doth dwell;
Nothing shall her remove:
The Lord to her a helper will,
And that right early, prove.
The heathen rag'd tumultuously,
The kingdoms moved were:
The Lord God uttered his voice,
The earth did melt for fear.
The Lord of hosts upon our side
Doth constantly remain:
The God of Jacob's our refuge,
Us safely to maintain.
Our God, who is the Lord of hosts,
Is still upon our side;
The God of Jacob, our refuge,
For ever will abide.
