God is our refuge and strength A helper most present in need Therefore we will not fear Not even though earth starts to shake! Even though mountains move into the heart To the heart of the seas, and its waters roar They will roar! and they will foam! Mountains quake at its swelling pride! There is a river whose streams Bring joy to the city of God A sanctified dwelling place Of he who is high above all! God remains in her midst; she won't be moved God will give help to her when the morning dawns Nations roar! The kingdoms move! Earth dissolves as he sends his voice! The LORD of hosts, the LORD is right here with us! Our fortress, our fortress Jacob's God! Come and behold all the works The LORD has done, how he has brought Desolations on earth To the end of earth he makes wars cease Breaks the bow, cracks the spear, and with a fire Burns the chariots. "Be still! Know that I am God! I'll be exalted above the nations! I'll be exalted over all the earth!" The LORD of hosts, the LORD is right here with us! Our fortress, our fortress Jacob's God!
