GOD is our refuge, tried and proved,

GOD is our refuge, tried and proved, Amid a stormy world: We will not fear though earth be moved, And hills in ocean hurl'd.

The waves may roar, the mountains shake, Our comforts shall not cease; The Lord His saints will not forsake; The Lord will give us peace.

A gentle stream of hope and love To us shall ever flow; It issues from His throne above, It cheers His church below.

When earth and hell against us came, He spake, and quell'd their powers; The Lord of hosts is still the same, The God of grace is ours.
