O God, our help in ages past,Our hope for years to come,Our shelter from the stormy blast,And our eternal home.
-
Within the shadow of thy throne,Still may we dwell secure.Sufficient is thine arm alone,And our defense is sure.
-
Before the hills in order stood,Or earth received her frame,From everlasting thou art God,To endless years the same.
-
O God, our help in ages past,Our hope for years to come,Be thou our guide while life shall lastAnd our eternal home.
O Gracious God, Keep our sisters and brothers safe from the fierce destruction of this monstrous storm, we ask You In the Name of Christ, our Lord, Who once did order the winds to cease. AMEN
Nearer My God To Thee

Hi:
Thank you for contacting me regarding this post! I suspect that your questions arise from seeking to understand the death and the destruction of the storm from a purely rational perspective in opposition to the application of a faith perspective. One’s question then becomes: ” How can a God of compassion permit such to happen?” To start from the perspective of ‘Faith in God’ is to realize that in the
the midst of the storm God remains with us. Know that you are not alone in your questioning!
