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. |
