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 SHELL TO THE PEARL by LOUIS UNTERMEYER EVENEN IN THE VILLAGE by WILLIAM BARNES ON MY JOYFUL DEPARTURE FROM THE CITY OF COLOGNE by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE LAMENT FOR FLODDEN [FIELD] by JEAN ELLIOT (1727-1805) GLOIRE DE DIJON by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE THE TRIUMPH OF TIME by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE SONNETS FROM SERIES RELATING TO EDGAR ALLEN POE: 1 by SARAH HELEN POWER WHITMAN |
