God is our hope and strength by Maurice Greene — Lyrics
God is our hope and strength,
A very present help in trouble;
Therefore we will not fear,
Tho' the earth tremble;
Tho' the Mountains Shake;
And the Waters Rage and Swell.
For God is in the midst of Us,
therefore shall we not be moved;

About God is our hope and strength
This sacred verse anthem sets a powerful text from Psalm 46, expressing unwavering faith in the face of cataclysmic events. The words speak of God's presence as a constant refuge, ensuring steadfastness even when the earth trembles and mountains shake. The composer Maurice Greene's setting for SAATBB voices vividly portrays this message of divine assurance and ultimate peace, as it culminates in the triumphant declaration of God making wars to cease. It is a profound reflection on spiritual resilience and God's supreme authority over the world.
