Though the Mountains Shake

When stormy winds against us break
Stablish and reinforce our will;
O hear us for thine own name’s sake,
Hold us in strength and hold us still.

Still as the faithful mountains stand
Through the long silent years of stress,
So would we wait at Thy right hand,
In quietness and steadfastness.

But not of us this strength, O Lord,
And not of us this constancy;
Our trust is Thine Eternal Word,
Thy presence our security.
