Refuge, River, and Rest

"God is our Refuge and our Strength... There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God.... Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:1,4,10).

There is a Refuge, whatever betides,
That shelters our souls in this world.
God is that Refuge; He always abides,
No matter what trials are hurled.

There is a River with pleasure-filled streams
That gladdens God's city today.
God is that River for those He redeems;
So let His redeemed people say!

There is a Rest that bids us be still,
And know that our God still controls.
God is that Rest, and He will fulfill
Each promise He made to our souls.
