Tune: Monks Gate
(\'He who would valiant be\')
Psalm 46 parts
********
God, our refuge and power
Are every hour
You our strength, a very
Present help, we see
Therefore we will not fear
Though earthly troubles near
Though earth e\'en if removed
Steadfast you have proved
Though mountains be carried
Into sea, and hid
Drowned in the depths, and so
Waters roar, we know
If they be troubled, and
Mountains shake, cannot stand
Yet in this fear we not
For God is our lot
There is a river, see
The streams shall there be
Peaceful, and shall make glad
God\'s city, not sad
\'Tis His high dwelling place
We there His presence race
He is there in the midst
And this we do wist* (*know)
His city be not moved
His help has ensued
Unto us, it early
Be His help, we see
Be still, and know that I
Am God, this His reply
He will be exalted
Among us, He said
Exalted among heathen
That all shall know then
He is God, He alone
Worship is our tone
For the LORD of hosts, He
Is with us, He e\'er be
Our refuge now, always
Unto endless day
