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

Thanks B&A. The hymn is sometimes called 'Who would true valour see, Gainst all disaster'. No disaster in your class?!
I am all for peace.. and always have been... a great sentiment , difficult to achieve in a world of greed .......... N
Thanks N.
One of my favourite texts is used in this verse Orchi - - the words " be still and know that I am God" have always meant much to me.... we all need to do just that at times.
Thanks Fay.
Fay took the words right out of my mouth with the text.....awesome!
Thanks Christina.
Good one Orchi (River and all).
Thanks Gold. There will be no more sea though! But I read that's a symbol of no more separation. How's 1066 prep going?
