<p>God is the refuge of His saints,<br>
When storms of sharp distress invade;<br>
Ere we can offer our complaints,<br>
Behold Him present with His aid.</p>
<p>Let mountains from their seats be hurled<br>
Down to the deep, and buried there;<br>
Convulsions shake the solid world:<br>
Our faith shall never yield to fear.</p>
<p>Loud may the troubled ocean roar;<br>
In sacred peace our souls abide;<br>
While every nation, every shore,<br>
Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide.</p>
<p>There is a stream, whose gentle flow<br>
Supplies the city of our God,<br>
Life, love, and joy, still guiding through,<br>
And wat&#8217;ring our divine abode.</p>
<p>That sacred stream&#8212;Thy holy Word&#8212;<br>
That all our raging fear controls;<br>
Sweet peace Thy promises afford,<br>
And give new strength to fainting souls.</p>
<p>Zion enjoys her Monarch&#8217;s love,<br>
Secure against a threatening hour;<br>
Nor can her firm foundations move,<br>
Built on His truth, and armed with power.</p>
