lyrics

A refuge of the weary saints,
When storms of sharp distress invade,
God hears our cries and our complaints,
and send his heavenly aid!

O love, unbounded and unmoved,
Secure against the threatening hour;
the blood of Jesus ever proves
his faithfulness and power. (Refrain)

Refrain
Loud may the troubled ocean moan;
his sacred peace stills our soul;
While nations writhe in fear and woe,
the Lord is still our strength and home;
the Lord is still our strength and home.

Let Zion in her King rejoice,
Though Satan rage, and kingdoms rise:
He utters his almighty voice,
and melts the earth and skies.

From sea to sea, from all their shores,
He makes the noise of battle cease;
When from on high his thunder roars,
He awes the world to peace. (Refrain)

He breaks the bow, he cuts the spear;
burns chariots with his heavenly flame:
O earth, keep silence, yet to hear
The glory of his name. (Refrain)
