Seventh Sunday after Trinity
From The Poetical Works (1859)
God is our refuge and our strength
When trouble's hour is near;
A very present help is He,
Therefore we will not fear:
Although the pillars of the earth
Shall clean removed be;
The very mountains carried forth
And cast into the sea:
Although the waters rage and swell,
So that the earth shall shake;
Yea, and the solid mountain-roots
Shall with the tempest quake:
The Lord of Hosts our refuge is
When trouble's hour is near;
The God of Jacob is with us,
Therefore we will not fear.
