الله ملجأ لنا وقوة على الدوام

Representative Text

1 - اللهُ ملجأٌ لنا
وقُوةٌ على الدوامْ
عونٌ شديدٌ ثابتٌ
في الضيقِ حِصنٌ وسلامْ
لذاك لا نخشى ولو تزَلْزَلتْ
بنا الأراضي والجبالُ انقلبتْ
للبحرِ من هولِ الصِّدامْ

2 - يا أيها الناس انظروا
ماذا القديرُ يفعلُ
قد جعلَ الأرضَ قفا
راً والحروبُ يُبطِلُ
والقوسَ قد كسَّرَ والرمحَ قطعْ
ومركباتِ الحربِ للنار دفعْ
ذاك القويُّ الأزلُ

3 - يقولُ كُفوا واعلَموا
أني أنا اللهُ القديرْ
مرتفِعٌ بين الملا
على كبيرٍ وصغيرْ
ربُّ الجنودِ الحقُّ بارينا لنا
ملجأُنا طول المدى بل حصنُنا
إلهُنا الربُّ الـمُجيرْ
