Tune: Woodlands
('Tell out my soul')
Psalm 46 v.1-6 & v.10 parts
********
God is our refuge, and our strength and song
Be lifted up soul, praise Him all day long
He a very present help in trouble
Will come to the aid of who on Him call
Therefore we fear not, though earth be removed
Yet still His help to us He shall have proved
And though mountains be carried into sea
The LORD will still abide, our refuge be
Though waters roar, and waves troubled therein
And rain does fall, and new storms do begin
There is a river, the streams whereof shall
Make glad city of God, our tongues shall tell
There He abides, it be His holy place
His tabernacles, we His presence trace
He the most High, and in the midst dwelling
City not be moved, He its Lord and King
And God shall help His city, His people
Soon, early, for He attends to their call
Though heathen raged, kingdoms against Him moved
He spoke, the melted, and were all reproved
Be still and know, our God our help He be
Know He is God, the great I am, here see
He will be o'er all the earth exalted
He ever reigns, our Lord, our living Head

I have serious doubts about the last line of the first stanza!
Good write though Orchi.
Thanks Gold. When I typed in that line, I thought you may comment so.
it can be easy to say it in hymn-poems. I suppose anyone can SAY anything about anything or anyone.
I hope you can 'call' and find help, an 'answer', a way through.
A big notice outside a church says 'Try praying!' We may do, and yet sometimes...…. no help seems to come?
I believe we can only ever be created beings, and not be the Creator God. Though Christians are being changed into the image of Christ.
THANKS UNCLE STEVE ~ A very uplifting Hymn to enjoy in ones lunch break (Teaching again @ 3pm !). Love the POEM ! Be still and know (EXPERIENCE) that I am GOD ! We often let the hustle & bustle of everyday life ~ intrude on our meditations and appreciation of GOD ~ AMEN
Blessings ~ And a Hug for FIDO
