The Lord is our refuge, the Lord is our guide;
We smile upon danger with him at our side;
The billows may blacken, the tempest increase,
Tho’ earth may be shaken, his saints shall have peace.
A voice still and small by his people is heard,
A whisper of peace from his life-giving word;
A stream in the desert, a river of love,
Flows down to their hearts from the fountain above.
Be near us, Redeemer, to shield us from ill;
Speak thou but the word, and the tempest is still;
Thy presence to cheer us, thy arm to defend,
The weak becomes mighty with thee for a friend.
The Lord is our helper; ye careless, be awed;
Ye scoffers be still, and acknowledge your God;
The proud he will humble, the lowly defend;
Oh, happy the people with God for a friend.
