Before the mountains were brought forth, before Earth and the world were made, then God was God: And God will still be God, when flames shall roar Round earth and heaven dissolving at His nod: And this God is our God, even while His rod Of righteous wrath falls on us smiting sore: And this God is our God for evermore Thro' life, thro' death, while clod returns to clod. For tho' He slay us we will trust in Him; We will flock home to Him by divers ways: Yea, tho' He slay us we will vaunt His praise, Serving and loving with the Cherubim, Watching and loving with the Seraphim, Our very selves His praise thro' endless days. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WIND AT THE DOOR by WILLIAM BARNES LOCHABER NO MORE by ALLAN RAMSAY EDEN BOWER by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI FOR 'OUR LADY OF THE ROCKS' (BY LEONARDO DA VINCI) by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI A CHARACTER OF SARAH HALLOWELL VAUGHAN by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD THE POET TO HIS GARRET by PIERRE JEAN DE BERANGER PEACE QUATRAIN by CHARLOTTE LOUISE BERTLESEN GHELUVELT; EPITAPH ON THE WORCESTERS by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES |
