Let Zion in her King rejoice;
Though tyrants rage, and kingdoms rise,
He utters his almighty voice,
The nations melt, the tumult dies.
The Lord of old for Jacob fought,
And Jacob's God is still our aid:
Behold the works his hand has wrought,
What desolations he has made!
From sea to sea, through all the shores,
He makes the noise of battle cease;
When from on high his thunder roars,
He awes the trembling world to peace.
He breaks the bow, he cuts the spear
Chariots he burns with heav'nly flame;
Keep silence, all the earth, and hear
The sound and glory of his name.
"Be still, and learn that I am God;
I'll be exalted o'er the lands;
I will be known and feared abroad;
But still my throne in Zion stands."
O Lord of hosts, Almighty King,
While we so near thy presence dwell,
Our faith shall sit secure, and sing
Defiance to the gates of hell.

And sinks them in the seas.

Where his own sheep have been.

In sacred Peace our Souls abide,
While ev'ry Nation, ev'ry Shore,
Trembles, and dreads the swelling Tide.
4 There is a Stream, whose gentle Flow
Supplies the City of our GOD;
Life, Love, and Joy still gliding through,
And wat'ring our divine Abode.
5 That sacred Stream, thine holy Word,
That all our raging Fear controuls:
Sweet Peace thy Promises afford,
And give new Strength to fainting Souls.
6 Sion enjoys her Monarch's Love,
Secure against a threat'ning Hour;
Nor can her firm Foundations move,
Built on his Truth, and arm'd with Pow'r. Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English

And Jacob's GOD is still our Aid:
Behold the Works his Hand has wrought,
What Desolations he has made.
3 From Sea to Sea, through all the Shores,
He makes the Noise of Battle cease;
When from on high his Thunder roars,
He awes the trembling World to Peace.
4 He breaks the Bow, he cuts the Spear
Chariots he burns with heav'nly Flame;
Keep Silence all the Earth, and hear
The Sound and Glory of his Name.

How beautiful they stand!
The Honours of our native Place,
And Bulwarks of our Land.]
3 In Sion GOD is known,
A Refuge in Distress;
How bright has his Salvation shone
Through all her Palaces!
4 When Kings against her join'd,
And saw the Lord was there,
In wild Confusion of the Mind,
They fled with hasty Fear.
5 When Navies tall and proud
Attempt to spoil our Peace,
He sends his Tempest roaring loud,
And sinks them in the Seas.
6 Oft have our Fathers told,
Our Eyes have often seen,
How well our GOD secures the Fold,
Where his own Sheep have been.
7 In ev'ry new Distress
We'll to his House repair;
We'll think upon his wond'rous Grace,
And seek Deliv'rance there. Scripture: Psalm 48:1-8 Languages: English

In praise my mouth employ;

The meek shall hear with joy.
O magnify the Lord with me,
Let us exult His Name;
When in distress on Him I called,
He to my rescue came.
2 We looked to Him and light received,
Ashamed we shall not be;
Our humble cry Jehovah heard,
From trouble set us free.
The angel of the Lord encamps
Around about His own,
Delivers them from all their foes,
Lest they be overthrown.
3 O taste and see that God is good
To all that seek His face;
Yea, blest the man that trust in Him,
Confiding in His grace.
O fear the Lord, all ye His saints;
No want shall bring distress;
The lions young may pine for food,
The saints all good possess.
