Chorus
Come behold the wondrous works
Of the Lord Who reigns on high
O be still and know that He is God
Our fortress He will be
Verse 1
God is our refuge and our strength
A very present aid
Therefore, although the earth gives way
We will not be afraid
Though mountains move into the sea
Though waters rage and foam
Although the hills may quake and fall
Our hope is in the Lord
Verse 2
The nations rage and kingdoms move
Their plotting is in vain
They all shall tremble at the voice
Of God above who reigns
Great desolation to the earth
He turns the wars to peace
He breaks the bow and shatters spear
All chariots to cease
Ending Chorus
All the glory to His name
O exalted He shall be
O be still and know that He is God
Our fortress He will be
Our fortress He will be
Our fortress He will be
