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