(\'Jesus, where\'er thy people meet\')
Psalm 46 v.1-5
********
God is our refuge and our strength
He will help us now and at length
A very present help is He
In trouble, comfort to you be
Therefore we will not fear, e\'en though
Earth be removed and mountains so
Be carried into midst of sea
Howe\'er wild, chaotic it be
Though water roar and be troubled
He peace o\'er the storms rage has called
And mountains may shake, upheaval
But the Lord God be our Rock all
There is a river whose streams shall
Make glad God\'s city, we do tell
The holy place where He does dwell
His tabernacles we know well
God is in midst of His city
She shall not be moved, but firmly
Remain, and God shall help her give
Early, at dawn, and she shall live
