It was written by Australian Roman Catholic priest and liturgist Fr Frank Andersen
MSC, and originally published in the
Eagles Wings
collection. It is included in Scripture in Song - The Music of Frank Andersen MSC, which is still available. Both of these publications include
lead-sheet style sheet music.
The tune was written by Fr Andersen: it has a 4/4 time signature, and in the key of A the first few notes are CDE F_EFG FE C_.
The hymn is quite different from one with the same title written by Bernadette Farrell, which is based on Revelations.

Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:Chorus:
In God alone can my spirit find rest;
My help shall come from God alone.
For He is my Rock and my salvation,
My fortress on high,
My lasting peace.
1 In God is my safety ...
2 Take refuge in God ...
3 Our Yahweh is Power ...
