  *++Lyrics:|\\
God is the refuge of His saints,\\
When storms of sharp distress invade;\\
Ere we can offer our complaints,\\
Behold Him present with His aid.\\
\\
Let mountains from their seats be hurled\\
Down to the deep, and buried there;\\
Convulsions shake the solid world:\\
Our faith shall never yield to fear.\\
\\
Loud may the troubled ocean roar;\\
In sacred peace our souls abide;\\
While every nation, every shore,\\
Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide.\\
\\
There is a stream, whose gentle flow\\
Supplies the city of our God,\\
Life, love, and joy, still guiding through,\\
And wat'ring our divine abode.\\
\\
That sacred stream--Thy holy Word--\\
That all our raging fear controls;\\
Sweet peace Thy promises afford,\\
And give new strength to fainting souls.\\
\\
Zion enjoys her Monarch's love,\\
Secure against a threatening hour;\\
Nor can her firm foundations move,\\
Built on His truth, and armed with power.\\
\\
