god is our refuge

God is our refuge and our strength,

in straits a present aid;

therefore, although the earth remove,

we will not be afraid.




Though hills amidst the seas be cast;

though waters roaring make,

and troubled be; yea, though the hills

by swelling seas do shake.




A river is, whose streams make glad

the city of our God,

the holy place, wherein the Lord

most high hath his abode.




God in the midst of her doth dwell;

nothing shall her remove:

God unto her an helper will,

and that right early, prove.




To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

the God whom we adore,

be glory, as it was, and is,

and shall be evermore. Amen
