Tune: St Fulbert
('Ye choirs of new Jerusalem')
Psalm 46 v.1-5
*******
God is our refuge and our strength
He helps soon and at length
A very present help is He
When troubled hours be
Therefore we will not fear whate'er
Matters in life we share
Even though the earth be removed
God's help shall still be proved
And though the mountains be carried
Into the sea, no dread
Shall we have, and thoug hwaters roar
And clouds pour thier rain-store
There is a river, its streams shall
Make glad, so we shall tell
Shall bring gladness to God's city
Where He does dwell, so be
God is in the midst of her, see
And unshaken shall be
They who there with Him live, for He
Shall help them, and early

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. A comfort, if our 'hour' (or 'hours') of troubles, concerns, difficulties, etc has come to us. A tune used recently but seemed suitable here.

Nice sentiments .. Neville
Thanks N. Is it still Easter - the hymn theme in the clip?!
We are always in need of a helping hand and the belief that there is a powerful one out there is reassuring. Good one Orchi
Thanks SB.
Love it
Thanks Tony.
You're welcome
Beautiful.
Thanks Thomas.
A song for the afternoon, Dear Orchi.
Thanks Jerry.
Your hymn-poem of comfort is especially appreciated at this time of such upheavel in the good old USA. If things don't go well in our election, it may not be the good old USA any more. Wish I could say lol, but tragically I cannot.
Thanks B. Never trust anyone with a dodgy barnet (haircut)?! It would be laughable if not so serious
Words to live by my friend.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
