God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength
Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Year A, B, C, Easter, Easter vigil 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 billows 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 was 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.
Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: NOEL (GERARD) Text Sources: Scottish Psalter 1650

Is crowned with glory now;

The mighty victor’s brow.

The King of kings and Lord of lords,
And heaven’s eternal light.

The joy of all below,
To whom he manifests hHis love,
And grants his name to know.

With all its grace, is giv'en;
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy the joy of heav'n.

They reign with him above;
Their profit and their joy to know
The myst'ry of his love.

Though shame and death to him,
His people’s hope, his people’s wealth,
Their everlasting theme. Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:12 Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS

And the choirs of heaven chant it
In the temple of the skies;

And the joyful valleys ring
With hosannas in the highest
To our Savior and our King!

And the jeering of the rabble,
And the scorn of mocking lips,
And the terrors of the gibbet
Upon which he would be slain,
But his death was only slumber;
He is risen up again!

He has risen up in triumph
From the darkness of the grave.

He's the lamp of endless day;
He's the very Lord of glory
Who is risen up today!

He has lifted up the portals
Of our home beyond the stars;
He has won for us our freedom--
'Neath his feet our foes are trod;
He has purchased back our birthright
To the kingdom of our God!

Blessed Jesus, make us rise
From the life of this corruption
To the life that never dies.
May we share with you your glory
When the days of time are past,
And the dead shall be awakened
By the trumpet's mighty blast!

All in an Easter garden
Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Years A, B, and C Easter Vigil Lyrics: 1 All in an Easter garden,

an angel came from heaven
and rolled the stone away.
When Jesus' friends came seeking,
with myrrh and spices rare,
they found the angels at the door,
but Jesus was not there.
2 All in an Easter garden,
where water lilies bloom,
the angels gave their message
beside an empty tomb:
'The Lord is here no longer,
come, see where once he lay;
the Lord of life is risen indeed,
for this is Easter day.' Scripture: Mark 16:1-6 Used With Tune: [All in an Easter garden] Text Sources: Traditional
