And those who husbanded the Golden Grain,
And those who flung it to the Winds like Rain,
Alike to no such aureate Earth are turn'd
As, buried once, Men want dug up again.

I sometimes think that never blows so red
The Rose as where some buried Caesar bled;

Think, in this batter'd Caravanserai
Whose Doorways are alternate Night and Day,
How Sultan after Sultan with his Pomp
Abode his Hour or two and went his way.

I sometimes think that never blows so red
The Rose as where some buried Caesar bled;

That every Hyacinth the Garden wears
Dropt in its Lap from some once lovely Head.

I sometimes think that never blows so red
The Rose as where some buried Caesar bled;

For true strength and salvation are found in Him today.

Power and love belong to God, and He rewards each one,
According to their deeds, under the ever-brightening sun.

In His steadfast presence, we'll forever confide.

Trust In Jah (Psalm 62) - Kireyna Hoshi

Rest In Jah (Psalm 62) - Kireyna Hoshi

God is our refuge and our strength, a help in times of trouble,
In His sanctuary, we find solace, our worries He'll bubble.
Though mountains may quake, and waters tumultuously roar,
In His presence, we're safe, fear we'll ignore.

Nations may rage, kingdoms may totter and fall,
But in the shadow of His wings, we'll stand tall.
The Lord of hosts is with us, our fortress and shield,
His peace, like a river, to our hearts yield.

Be still, my soul, and know He is God,
In His refuge, we find solace, our fears abroad.
The God of Jacob, our fortress, our rock,
In His presence, we'll find peace, like the shepherd's flock.

Come, behold the works of the Lord, His wonders to survey,
He makes wars cease, and the nations His commands obey.
With exaltation and assurance, in His peace, we abide,
The God of hosts, our refuge, forever by our side.

Sing a new song to the Lord, the King of all the earth,

All the ends of the earth have seen His saving grace.
Let the sea resound, and all within it, clap their hands,
The world and all who dwell in it, in joyful praise, now stand.

As the deer pants for water, my soul longs for You,
In this dry and weary land, Your presence, I pursue.

Yet in the roar of Your waters, I find solace for my soul.
By day, the Lord commands His steadfast love,
By night, His song's with me, His guidance from above.

In His presence, I'll rejoice, His grace I'll declare.

(BRIDGE)
My soul, cast your anchor in God's steadfast love,
Though the tempests may rage, He's your refuge from above.
In the land of the living, I'll praise His name,
My hope, my rock, my salvation, still the same.
