Text:God Is Our Refuge, Tried and Proved
Author:Henry F. Lyte, 1793-1847

46b. God Is Our Refuge, Tried and Proved

1 God is our Refuge, tried and proved,
Amid a stormy world;
We will not fear though earth be moved,
And hills in ocean hurled.

2 The waves may roar, the mountains shake,
Our comforts shall not cease:
The LORD His saints will not forsake;
The LORD will give us peace.

3 A gentle stream of hope and love,
To us shall ever flow;
It issues from His throne above,
It cheers His Church below.

4 When earth and hell against us came,
He spoke, and quelled their powers;
The LORD of hosts is still the same,
The God of grace is ours.
