Persisting Praises

Tune: All through the night

('God that madest earth and heaven')

*********

Psalm 46 v.1

God is our refuge and our strength

Wide is the length

Of His mercies to us daily

Here them now see

A very present help He be

In troubles we turn to Him, He

Will help, come guide and us support

Him we have sought

 

Psalm 46 v.10-11

Be still, for I am God, this know

It be true so

I will midst heathen exalted

Be, and not hid

In the earth my name shall be raised

For my glory it shall be praised

God the Lord of hosts with us sure

For evermore

 

Psalm 47 v.7-8

Sing praises to God, sing praises

Through life's phases

Sing praises with understanding

Him worship bring

For God He reigns o'er the nations

O'er all people of all stations

He sits upon His throne holy

Ever will be

 

Psalm 48 v.12-13

Walk about Zion and rejoice

It is God's choice

City of His habitation

He loves each one

Tell the towers there, the strongholds

Where He gathers sheep to His folds

Consider His palaces there

They beauty share
