Text:Psalm 46
Tune:MORNINGTON CHANT
Composer:Earl of Mornington (1735-1781)

27. Psalm 46

1 The heathen raged tumultuously,
The kingdoms moved were;
The Lord God uttered his voice,
The earth did melt for fear.

2 Come, and behold what wondrous works
Have by the Lord been wrought;
Come see what desolations dread
He on the earth hath brought.

3 Unto the ends of all the earth
War into peace He turns;
The bow He breaks, the spear He cuts,
In fire the chariot burns.

4 Be still, and know that I am God:
Among the heathen I
Will be exalted; I on earth
Will be exalted high.
