Lyrics

God is our refuge and strength,
in strife our constant aid;
Therefore, although the earth be removed,
we will not be afraid:
Our God, who is the Lord of hosts,
is still upon our side;
and ever will abide.

Though mountains fall to seas,
And oceans leap with foam;
And roar in anger, yet we still
Find in His grace our home.
Our God, who is the Lord of hosts,
is still upon our side;
and ev'ry need provide.

Now thank we all our God,
with heart and hands and voices,

Who wondrous things has done,
in Whom this world rejoices;

Who from our mothers’ arms
has blessed us on our way

With countless gifts of love,
and still is ours today.


Come, and behold what what works
have by the Lord been made;
Come, see what wonders now proclaimed
in majesty arrayed.
Our God, who is the Lord of hosts,
our guardian and our guide;
will ever more abide.
