[Brief Intro]

[Verse 1]

God is the refuge of his saints,

When storms of sharp distress invade

Ere we can offer our complaints,

Behold him present with his aid.

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus]

Let mountains from their seats be hurled

Down to the deep, and buried there,

Convulsions shake the solid world,

Our faith shall never yield to fear.

[Chorus]

Loud may the troubled ocean roar,

In sacred peace our souls abide,

While every nation, every shore,

Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide.

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 4]

There is a stream, whose gentle flow

Supplies the city of our God;

Life, love, and joy still gliding through,

And wat'ring our divine abode.

[Verse 5]

That sacred stream, thine holy word,

That all our raging fear controls:

Sweet peace thy promises afford,

And give new strength to fainting souls.

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus]

Let mountains from their seats be hurled

Down to the deep, and buried there,

Convulsions shake the solid world,

Our faith shall never yield to fear.

[Chorus]

Loud may the troubled ocean roar,

In sacred peace our souls abide,

While every nation, every shore,

Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide.

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 6]

Zion enjoys her Monarch's love,

Secure against a threat'ning hour;

Nor can her firm foundations move,

Built on his truth, and armed with power.

[Verse 6]

Zion enjoys her Monarch's love,

Secure against a threat'ning hour;

Nor can her firm foundations move,

Built on his truth, and armed with power.

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Outro] [Chorus]

Loud may the troubled ocean roar,

In sacred peace our souls abide,

While every nation, every shore,

Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide.
