Tune: St Anne
(\'O God our help in ages past\')
Psalm 46 v.7-11
**********
The Lord of hosts He with us be
His presence constantly
And He sure strong our refuge be
Shall save from enemy
Come, behold the works of the Lord
He destroys battle sword
Makes desolations in the earth
Silences evil\'s mirth
He makes wars to cease to the end
Of the earth, and does tend
To enemy, breaks bow, cuts spear
They know His judgements near
He burns chariot in the fire
Weapons of war that mar
Know that He is God, here be still
He shall work His good will
He will be exalted among
Heathen, let praise be sung
In earth He will be exalted
Will be as He has said
[Repeat of Verse 1, as a Refrain in the Psalm]
The Lord of hosts He with us be
His presence constantly
And He sure strong our refuge be
Shall save from enemy
