Security and Safety

Verse 1

God is our refuge and defense; In trouble our unfailing aid: Secure in His omnipotence, What foe can make our souls afraid!

Verse 2

Yea, though the earth's foundations rock, And mountains down the gulf be hurled, His people smile amid the shock: They look beyond this transient world.

Verse 3

There is a river, pure and bright, Whose streams make glad the heavenly plains, Where in eternity of light The city of our God remains.

Verse 4

Built by the word of His command, With His unclouded presence blest, Firm as His throne the bulwarks stand; There is our home, our hope, our rest.
