God a Very Present Help

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, behold what wondrous works Jehovah's hand has wrought; Come, see what desolation great He on the earth has brought. To utmost ends of all the earth He causes war to cease; The weapons of the strong destroyed, He makes abiding peace. 5 Be still and know that I am God, O'er all exalted high; The subject 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 Used With Tune: MATERNA

"Come to Me," saith One, "and, coming, Be at rest." 2 Hath He marks to lead me to Him, If He be my Guide? "In His feet and hands are wound prints, And His side." 3 Is there diadem, as Monarch, That His brow adorns? "Yea, a crown, in very surety, But of thorns." 4 If I find Him, if I follow, What His guerdon here? "Many a sorrow, many a labor, Many a tear." 5 If I still hold closely to Him, What hath He at last? "Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan passed." 6 If I ask Him to receive me, Will He say me nay? "Not till earth and not till heaven Pass away." 7 Finding, following, keeping, struggling, Is He sure to bless? "Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs, Answer, 'Yes.'" Amen. Used With Tune: STEPHANOS
