దేవుడే నాకాశ్రయంబు
పల్లవి: దేవుడే నాకాశ్రయంబు – దివ్యమైన దుర్గము
మహా వినోదు డాపదల – సహాయుడై నన్ బ్రోచును
అభయ మభయ మభయ మెప్పు
డానంద మానంద మానంద మౌగ ||దేవుడే||
1. పర్వతములు కదిలిన నీ – యుర్వి మారు పడినను
సర్వమున్ ఘోషించుచు నీ – సంద్ర ముప్పొంగినన్ ||అభయ||
దేవుడెప్డు తోడుగాగ – దేశము వర్ధిల్లును
2. ఆ తావు నందు ప్రజలు మిగుల – ధన్యులై వసింతురు ||అభయ||
రాజ్యముల్ కంపించిన భూ – రాష్ట్రముల్ ఘోషించిన
3. పూజ్యుండౌ యెహోవా వైరి – బూని సంహరించును ||అభయ||
విల్లు విరచు నాయన తెగ – బల్లెము నరకు నాయన
చెల్ల చెదర జేసి రిపుల – నెల్లద్రుంచు నాయనే ||అభయ||
4. పిశాచి పూర్ణ బలము నాతో – బెనుగులాడ జడియును
నశించి శత్రు గణము దేవు – నాజ్ఞ వలన మడియును ||అభయ||
5. కోటయు నాశ్రయమునై యా – కోబు దేవు డుండగా
ఏటి కింక వెరవ వలయు – నెప్డు నాకు బండుగ ||అభయ||
Hymn Lyrics
O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
Chorus
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze. ..Chorus..
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin. ..Chorus..
‘O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.’ Psalm 105:1
