Greenfield 84
Lyrics: Tate and Brady
Tune: Lewis Edson, Sr.
Meter: L.P.M. (8,8,8,8,8,8)
God is our refuge in distress,
A present help when dangers press;
In Him undaunted we'll confide.
Tho' earth were from her center toss'd
And mountains in the ocean lost,
Torn piecemeal by the roaring tide.
A gentler stream with gladness still
The city of our Lord shall fill,
The royal seat of God most high:
God dwells in Zion, whose fair tow'rs
Shall mock th'assaults of earthly pow'rs,
While his almighty aid is nigh.
Come, see the wonders He hath wrought,
On earth what desolation brought;
How He has calm'd the jarring world:
He broke the warlike spear and bow;
With them their thund'ring chariots too
Into devouring flames were hurl'd.
