"God is Our Refuge and Strength; a Very Present Help in Trouble. " |
633. C. M. Drummond. "God is our refuge and strength; a very present help in trouble." 1 Bereft of all, when hopeless care Would sink us to the tomb, O what can save us from despair? What dissipate the gloom? 2 No balm that earthly plants distil Can soothe the mourner's smart; No mortal hand with lenient skill Bind up the broken heart. 3 But One alone, who reigns above, Our woe to peace can turn, And light the lamp of joy and love That long has ceased to burn. 4 Then, O my soul, to that One flee, To God thy woes reveal; His eye alone thy wounds can see, His hand alone can heal.
