يا عوننا في ما مضى

Representative Text

1 - يا عونَنا في ما مضى
رجاءَنا الوطيدْ
ملجأَنا في ضيقِنا
موطنَنا المجيدْ

2 - في ظلِّ عرشِك احتَمَى
كلُّ المقدَّسينْ
عونُك يكفينا أيا
معقِلَنا الحصينْ

3 - مِن قبلِ إبداعِ الثرى
أو مَنشإ الجِبالْ
أنت إلهُ المجدِ والــ
ــعِزَّةِ والجلالْ

4 - نظيرُ أمسِ المنقَضي
لديك ألفُ عامْ
وكهزيعِ الليلِ يا
حيُّ على الدوامْ

5 - أيامُنا كسنةٍ
أو كَلإ الحقولْ
يُرى الغداةَ مُزهِراً
وفي المسا يزولْ

6 - يا عونَنا في ما مضى
رجاءَنا المتينْ
كنْ حارساً دوماً لنا
موطنَنا الأمينْ
