ജീവദാതാവാം ദൈവമേ

Representative Text

1 ജീവദാതാവാം ദൈവമേ
നിത്യത നിന്നിൽ ക്ഷേമമാം
മൃതരോ നിൻ കൂടെ പാർക്കും
ആല്ലേലൂയ്യാ, (3)

2 ആത്മാക്കൾ നിന്റെ സ്വന്തമാം
നിൻ കൂടെ പാർക്കും നിർഭയം
നിൻ കൃപ നീ അവർക്കേകും
ആല്ലേലൂയ്യാ, (3)

3 നിൻ വാക്കു സത്യമുള്ളതാം
മണ്ണോടു മണ്ണായ് തീർന്നിടാ
നന്ദിയാൽ ഗീതം പാടീടാം
ആല്ലേലൂയ്യാ, (3)

4 കർത്താവിൽ നിദ്ര പ്രാപിച്ചോർ
ഭാഗ്യമുള്ളോർ ഭയം വേണ്ടാ
ജീവൻ മൃത്യു ഏതായാലും
ആല്ലേലൂയ്യാ, (3)
