Oh' God, our Rock in winds marauding; <br />Our strength in the times weary; <br />Our trust is under the shadow of Your wing <br />And You are our eternal refuge. <br /> <br />The cry of the oppressed, You don't ignore; <br />The prayer of the humble, You don't forget; <br />You are ready to forgive and abundant in mercy <br />How excellent is Your grace upon all men; <br /> <br />So precious is thy loving Kindness, Oh' God <br />My, mourning You have turned into, dancing <br />My sackcloth You have removed; <br />And clothed me with gladness in my heart. <br /> <br />The heavens are Yours, and everything in them <br />The earth and its fullness, You have founded them <br />The north and the south, You have created them <br />Strong is Thy hand, high is Thy right one <br /> <br />When I consider the seas and the oceans; <br />All being the work of Your artistry; <br />Even the sun and the moon and the stars; <br />I exalt Your name above every other. <br /> <br />Every living creature declares Your glory <br />The seraphs of the heavens, Your handiwork, they show. <br />Day unto day utters speech <br />And night unto night reveals knowledge. <br /> <br />Oh' God, our Rock in winds marauding; <br />Our strength in the times weary; <br />Our trust is under the shadow of Your wing <br />And You are our eternal refuge.<br /><br />Kuda Bondamakara<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-our-refuge/
