God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength
Hymnal: Psalms of Grace #46e (2022) Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength,
our ever present aid,
and therefore though the earth should move,
we will not be afraid;
Though hills are thrown into the sea,
though foaming waters roar,
and though the mighty earthquake moves
the mountains on the shore.
2 A river flows whose streams make glad
the city of our God,
the holy place in which the LORD
Most High has His abode.
Since God in the midst of her
unmoved her walls shall stand,
for God will help at break of day,
when trouble is at hand.
3 The nations rage, and kingdoms fall,
but, when His voice is heard,
all earthly pow'r shall melt away
before His mighty Word.
The LORD of hosts is on our side,
our safely to secure;
the God of Jacob is for us
a refuge strong and sure.
4 O come and see what mighty works
the hand of God has done;
come, see what desolation great
He brings beneath the sun.
To utmost ends of all the earth
He causes wars to cease;
the weapons of the strong destroyed,
He makes a lasting peace.
5 "Be still and know that I am God,
set over all on high;
the humbled nations of the earth
My Name shall magnify."
The LORD of hosts is on our side,
our safety to secure;
the God of Jacob is for us
a refuge strong and sure. Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English Tune Title: GRATUS

God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #46 (1987) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength,
our ever-present aid,
and therefore, though the earth be moved,
we will not be afraid
though hills into the seas be cast,
though foaming waters roar,
though all the mighty billows shake
the mountains on the shore.
2 A river flows whose streams make glad
the city of our God,
the holy place wherein the LORD
Most High has his abode.
Since God is in the midst of her,
unmoved her walls shall stand;
for God will hasten to her aid
when trouble is at hand.
3 The nations rage, the kingdoms move,
but when his voice is heard,
earth melts with trembling fear before
the thunder of his word.
The LORD of hosts is on our side,
our safety to secure;
the God of Jacob is for us
a refuge strong and sure.
4 O come and see what wondrous works
the hand of God has done;
come, see what desolation great
he brings beneath the sun.
In every corner of the earth
he causes wars to cease;
the weapons of the strong destroyed,
he makes abiding peace.
5 "Be still and know that I am God,
the LORD whom all must claim;
and every nation of the earth
shall magnify my name."
The LORD of hosts is on our side,
our safety to secure;
the God of Jacob is for us
a refuge strong and sure.

God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength
Arthur Sullivan
1842 - 1900 Person Name: Arthur S. Sullivan Adapter of "NOEL" in Psalter Hymnal (Gray) Arthur Seymour Sullivan (b Lambeth, London. England. 1842; d. Westminster, London, 1900) was born of an Italian mother and an Irish father who was an army bandmaster and a professor of music. Sullivan entered the Chapel Royal as a chorister in 1854. He was elected as the first Mendelssohn scholar in 1856, when he began his studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He also studied at the Leipzig Conservatory (1858-1861) and in 1866 was appointed professor of composition at the Royal Academy of Music. Early in his career Sullivan composed oratorios and music for some Shakespeare plays. However, he is best known for writing the music for lyrics by William S. Gilbert, which produced popular operettas such as H.M.S. Pinafore (1878), The Pirates of Penzance (1879), The Mikado (1884), and Yeomen of the Guard (1888). These operettas satirized the court and everyday life in Victorian times. Although he composed some anthems, in the area of church music Sullivan is best remembered for his hymn tunes, written between 1867 and 1874 and published in The Hymnary (1872) and Church Hymns (1874), both of which he edited. He contributed hymns to A Hymnal Chiefly from The Book of Praise (1867) and to the Presbyterian collection Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867). A complete collection of his hymns and arrangements was published posthumously as Hymn Tunes by Arthur Sullivan (1902). Sullivan steadfastly refused to grant permission to those who wished to make hymn tunes from the popular melodies in his operettas.
