Hymn 293: God is the refuge of His saints

Olorun l’ abo eni Re

  1. God is the refuge of His saints,
    When storms of sharp distress invade;
    Ere we can offer our complaints,
    Behold Him present with His aid.

  2. Loud may the troubled ocean roar;
    In sacred peace our souls abide;
    While every nation, every shore,
    Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide.

  3. That sacred stream—Thy holy Word—
    That all our raging fear controls;
    Sweet peace Thy promises afford,
    And give new strength to fainting souls. Amin.
