TCU Concert Chorale - Psalm 46
Dr. Christopher Aspaas, conductor and composer
The earth changes
the mountains are shaken into the heart of the sea.
The waters roar and are troubled,
the nations rage,
the kingdoms are moved.
God lifted Their voice,
and the earth melted.
What desolation has been made of the earth.
“Be still.”
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God.
God is our refuge and our strength.
“I will be exalted among the nations, exalted in the earth.”
The God of Hosts is with us,
a present help in trouble.
“Be still.”
