The Children's Bible
God Our Refuge

      God is our refuge and strength,
      An ever-present help in trouble.
      So we fear not, though the earth trembles,
      And mountains tumble into the heart of the sea;
      Though its waters roar and foam,
      Though mountains quake at its uproar.
      The Lord of hosts is with us,
      The God of Jacob is our refuge.
      
      As the brooks refresh the city of God,
      So the Most High makes holy his abiding-place;
      God is in her midst, she cannot be moved,
      God will help her at the turn of the morn.
      
      Nations were in tumult, kingdoms fell,
      He uttered his voice, the earth melted.
      The Lord of hosts is with us,
      The God of Jacob is our refuge.
      
      Come, see the mighty works of the Lord,
      Who makes wars cease to the end of the earth
      He snaps the bow, and breaks the spear,
      And burns up the chariots with fire.
      "Be still, and know that I am God,
      Exalted over the nations, exalted on earth."
      The Lord of hosts is with us,
      The God of Jacob is our refuge.
