    RAF Chaplains - RAF Hymns


    God is our strength and refuge

    This hymn is sung to the tune of the Dambusters, and so very RAF’ish! You will find both the tune and words in Mission Praise Book two No 372 or Mission Praise Combined No 188


    God is our strength and refuge,
    Our present help in trouble;
    and we therefore will not fear,
    though the earth should change!
    Though mountains shake and tremble,
    though swirling floods are raging,
    God the Lord of hosts is with us evermore!

    There is a flowing river,
    Within God’s holy city;
    God is in the midst of her -
    she shall not be moved!
    God’s help is swiftly given,
    thrones vanish at his presence -
    God the Lord of hosts is with us evermore!

    Come, see the works of our maker,
    learn of his His deeds all powerful;
    wars will cease across the world
    when He shatters the spear!
    Be still and know your creator,
    uplift Him in the nations -
    God the Lord of hosts is with us evermore!
