Author: Henry J. van Dyke Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9839 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Now again the world is shaken,
Tempests break on sea and shore;
Earth with ruin overtaken,
Trembles while the storm winds roar.
He abideth who confideth,
God is God forevermore.
2 Thrones are falling, heathen raging,
Peoples dreaming as of yore
Vain imaginations, waging
Man with man, unmeaning war.
He abideth who confideth,
Christ is King forevermore.
3 Human wisdom in confusion,
Casts away the forms it wore;
Ancient error, new illusion,
Lose the phantom fruit they bore.
He abideth who confideth,
Truth is truth forevermore.
4 Right eternal, Love immortal,
Built the house where we adore;
Mercy is its golden portal,
Virtue its unshaken floor.
He abideth who confideth,
God is God forevermore. Languages: English Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE
Now Again The World Is Shaken
