HYMN 377. (2. METRE.)

Argument.

A present refuge God appears, Therefore the Saints should banish fears.

All People, &c.

Psalm 46.

GOD is our refuge and relief, A very present help in grief, Therefore we will not fear at all Although the earth should flit or fall.

And though the mountains should be hurl'd Amidst the Seas throughout the world. Although the troubled waters rore And swelling Seas should shake the shore.

There is a River whose sweet stream Shall glad the City of God supream, The Glory of his holy place Are th' Ordinances of his Grace.

The Lord is in the midst of her, She shall not once be made to stir, God gives her help and soon perform'd Tho' Heathens rag'd and Kingdoms storm'd.

His voice he utter'd soon 'twas felt, And made the stubborn Earth to melt, The Lord of hosts is with us still, The God of Jacob's our high hill.
