God is the refuge of his saints

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 464 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 7:25 Lyrics: 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 gliding through, And watering our divine abode. 5 That sacred stream, thy holy word, That all our raging fear controls: Sweet peace thy promises afford, And give new strength to fainting souls.
