God is Our Refuge Strong

God is our refuge strong, Let all who suffer wrong Find welcome here.
Here, though earth stand no more, Though oceans rage and roar
And break the mountains o’er, We shall not fear.

Peoples and nations shake When raging heathen make Their malice felt.
But once a single word Of our Lord’s voice was heard
A greater thing occurred: The earth did melt.

Our God, the Lord of all, Our help, our tower tall, Will not us fail.
To earth’s remotest shore He makes wars rage no more
Sword, spear, the tools of war Can naught avail.

Our Lord, great God above, Saves us in pow’r and love Praise ye the Lord!
Though grief and pain be rife, Sharp woe and bitter strife,
Our refuge and our life Is our Lord God.
