Psalm 46:1-3
God is our strength and refuge,
a helper ever near.
While resting in His shelter,
no evil will we fear—
Not if the mountains crumble
into the angry sea,
Nor if the surging ocean
exceeds its boundary.
Psalm 46:4-7
A quiet stream refreshes
the city of our God;
His throne stands unaffected
while kingdoms rise and fall.
One word from Jacob’s Savior
will melt the raging throng.
The Lord of Hosts is with us;
He is our fortress strong.
Psalm 46:7-10
Behold God’s glorious power:
He makes all warfare cease.
Each weapon He will shatter;
the world will be at peace.
"Be still!" cries Heaven’s Sovereign,
"Be still, for I am God!
All kingdoms——all creation——
will bow beneath my rod."
Mark 4:35-41; Revelation 19:15; Psalm 46:11
The violent sea turned placid
when Jesus cried, "Be still!"
Fears gone, twelve men stood gasping
when waves obeyed His will.
And soon the same voice speaking
will calm earth’s rebel storm.
This Lord of hosts is with us
both now and evermore!
