Let Youth Praise Him ‎#7

7. God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength

1 God is our refuge and our strength,
Our ever present aid,
And therefore, though the earth remove,
We will not be afraid;
Though hills amidst the seas be cast,
Though foaming waters roar,
Yea, though 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 in the midst of her
Unmoved her walls shall stand,
For God will be her early help,
When trouble is at hand.

3 The nations raged, the kingdoms moved,
But when His voice was heard
The troubled earth was stilled to peace
Before His mighty word;
The Lord of hosts is on our side,
Our safely to secure,
The God of Jacob is for us
A refuge strong and sure.
