God is our refuge, tried and proved

Henry Francis Lyte • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 46

Verse 1

God is our Refuge, tried and proved, Amid a stormy world; We will not fear though earth be moved, And hills in ocean hurled.

Verse 2

The waves may roar, the mountains shake, Our comforts shall not cease: The LORD His saints will not forsake; The LORD will give us peace.

Verse 3

A gentle stream of hope and love, To us shall ever flow; It issues from His throne above, It cheers His Church below.

Verse 4

When earth and hell against us came, He spoke, and quelled their powers; The LORD of hosts is still the same, The God of grace is ours.
