God is our refuge in distress, <br />Our shield of hope through every care, <br />Our Shepherd watching us to bless, <br />And therefore will we not despair; <br />Although the mountains shake, <br />And hills their place forsake, <br />And billows o'er them break <br />Yet still will we not fear, <br />For Thou, O God, art ever near. <br /> <br />God is our hope and strength in woe; <br />Through earth He maketh wars to cease; <br />His power breaketh spear and bow; <br />His mercy sendeth endless peace. <br />Then though the earth remove, <br />And storms rage high above, <br />And seas tempestuous prove, <br />Yet still will we not fear, <br />The Lord of Hosts is ever near.<br /><br />Martin Luther<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-is-our-refuge-in-distress/
