The Voice in Speech and Song
A marvelous change has come over those who have held fast their
integrity in the very face of death. They have been suddenly delivered
from the dark and terrible tyranny of men transformed to demons.
Their faces, so lately pale, anxious, and haggard, are now aglow with
wonder, faith, and love. Their voices rise in triumphant song: “God is
our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will
not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains
be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and
be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.”
