daniel read - refuge lyrics

Loading...

re­fuge is the god of love;
why do my foes in­sult and cry
fly like a ti­mor­ous, trem­bling dove
to dist­ant woods or mount­ains fly?

if gov­ern­ment be all de­stroyed
that firm foun­da­tion of our peace
and vio­lence make jus­tice void
where shall the right­eous seek re­dress?

the lord in heav’n has fixed his throne
his eye sur­veys the world be­low;
to him all mor­tal things are known
his eye­lids search our spir­its through

if he af­flicts his saints so far
to prove their love and try thеir grace
what may the bold trans­gress­ors fеar?
his ve­ry soul ab­hors their ways

on im­pi­ous wretch­es he shall rain
tempests of brim­stone, fire and death;
such as he kin­dled on the plain
of sodom with his ang­ry breath

the right­eous lord loves right­eous souls
whose thoughts and act­ions are sin­cere;
and with a gra­cious eye be­holds
the men that his own im­age bear
