Seeking Water, Seeking Shelter

Author: Eric Routley Hymnal: RITL1985 #101 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Seeking water, seeking shelter, gasps the thirsty, weary deer; so my soul in days of trouble longs for God's refreshments here. In this stressful course of life, in its loneliness and strife, "When," say I, "will God deliver; is his mercy gone forever?" 2 No! he is my soul's true fortress; though I hear those voices wild-- "Where's your God? why has he left you?-- he will not forget his child. Come then, be my advocate, come, your servant vindicate; then no more in fruitless sorrow shall I face a barren morrow. 3 Send your light and trust to lead me; then the path shall I discern to my father's house, where welcome waits the prodigal's return. Then new songs shall fil my days, ev'ry moment full of praise, with the faithful who surround him, with the blest ones who have found him. 4 So, my soul, why such disquiet? why such mourning, why such fear? Day already breaks on darkness, God has sought you, God is near. Hope in God and you shall live; all delight he waits to give; peace and power and ev'ry blessing you shall know, this faith confessing.

God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength

Hymnal: RITL1985 #102 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength, our ever present aid, and therefore, though the earth be moved, we will not be afraid; 2 though hills into the sea be cast, though foaming waters roar, yea, though all the mighty billows shake the mountains on the shore. 3 A river flows whose streams make glad the city of our God, the holy place wherein the Lord most high has his abode. 4 Since God is in the midst of her, unmoved her walls shall stand; for God will be her early help when trouble is at hand. 5 Be still and know that this is God; among the heathen he will be exalted, and on earth shall reign eternally.
