God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 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 is 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 safety to secure; the God of Jacob is for us a refuge strong and sure. 4 O come, behold what wondrous works Jehovah's hand has wrought; come, see what desolation great he on the earth has brought. To utmost ends of all the earth he causes war to cease; the weapons of the strong destroyed, he makes abiding peace. 5 "Be still and know that I am God, o'er all exalted high; the subject nations of the earth my name shall magnify." The Lord of Hosts is on our side, our safety to secure, the God of Jacob is for us a refuge strong and sure.

Author: Augustus M. Toplady; Rev. Dewey Westra Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How vast the benefits divine which we in Christ possess! We are redeemed from sin and shame, and called to holiness. 'Tis not for works that we have done, these all to him we owe; but he of his electing love salvation doth bestow. 2 To thee, O Lord, alone is due all glory and renown; aught to ourselves we dare not take, or rob thee of thy crown. Thou wast thyself our Surety in God's redemption plan; in thee his grace was given us, long ere the world began. 3 Safe in the arms of sov'ereign love we ever shall remain; nor shall the rage of earth or hell make thy sure counsel vain. Not one of all the chosen race but shall to heav'n attain; here they will share abounding grace, and there with Jesus reign.

Author: Thomas H. Gill Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 76 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The glory of the spring how sweet, The new-born life how glad; What joy the happy earth to greet In new, bright raiment clad. Divine Redeemer, Thee I bless; I greet Thy going forth; I love Thee in the loveliness Of Thy renewed earth. 2 But O these wonders of Thy grace, These nobler works of Thine, These marvels sweeter far to trace, These new births more divine. These sinful souls Thou hallowest, These hearts Thou makest new, These mournful souls by Thee made blest, These faithless hearts made true. 3 This new-born glow of faith so strong, This bloom of love so fair, This new-born ecstasy of song, And fragrancy of prayer! Creator Spirit, work in me These wonders sweet of Thine, Divine Redeemer, graciously Renew this heart of mine. Topics: Prayer For a Clean Heart; Seasons; Spring; God in Nature Used With Tune: SERAPH
