46

God is our refuge and strength
An ever-present help in trouble
God is our refuge and strength
Even when the troubles’re doubled

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
And the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam
And the mountains quake with their surging
And there is no way to get back home

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God
The holy place where the Most High stays
God is within her, she will not fall
God will help her at break of day

Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall
He lifts His voice, the earth melts
The Lord Almighty is with us
The God of Jacob is our fortress

Come and see what the Lord has done
The desolations He has brought on the earth
He makes wars cease
To the ends of the earth

He breaks the bow and shatters the spear
He burns the shields with fire
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God”
He says, “Be still, and know that I am always right

I will be exalted among the nations
I will be exalted in the earth. You are to trust”
The God of Jacob is our fortress
The Lord Almighty is with us
