God is our ref-uge and our strength, In straits a pres-ent aid; There-fore, al-though the earth re-move, We will not be a-fraid. Though hills a-midst the seas be cast; Though wa-ters roar-ing make, And troub-led be; yea, though the hills By swell-ing seas do shake. A riv-er is, whose streams do glad The ci-ty of our God; The ho-ly place, where-in the Lord Most High hath His a-bode. God in the midst of her doth dwell; Noth-ing shall her re-move; The Lord to her a help-er will, And that right ear-ly, prove. Be still, and know that I am God; A-mong the hea-then I Will be ex-alt-ed; I on earth Will be ex-alt-ed high. Our God, who is the Lord of hosts, Is still up-on our side; The God of Ja-cob our ref-uge For-ev-er will a-bide.
