As I wonder through the frozen
|
Landscape of Scandinavia
|
I am surrounded by
|
The magnificent creation
|
Thy nature truly a testimony
|
Of Thy eternal might
|
Like a wall, ancient mountains
|
Rise beyond the endless forests
|
As a mirror, the cold lakes
|
Reflect their shadows
|
Star of the Nordic skies glimpse
|
In harmony with the heavenly
|
Symphony of colours
|
The majestic northern lights
|
|
I praise Thee, o Master
|
For the gift of nature
|
I praise Thee
|
For the landscape of Scandinavia
|
Thou spread snow like wool
|
And scatter frost like ashes
|
Thou hurls down Thy hail like morsels
|
Who can withstand Thy icy blast?
|
Thou send Thy word and melt them
|
Thou stir the breeze
|
And let the water flow
|
|
Ancient beasts of the north
|
Made by Thy hands
|
In the depths of the Swedish
|
Wastelands they live
|
Elks and bears
|
Kings of the wood
|
Who would not fear their creator?
|
Thou have shown me
|
The beauty of lynx and fox
|
Their cunning conceived
|
By Thy wisdom in days of old
|
I have heard the wolves
|
Lift their howls of praise heavenwards
|
While ravens and eagles sour
|
In the midst of the sky
|
Proclaiming that the hour has come
|
|
For the day of the Lord is near
|
Soon it is upon us
|
Verily, I have seen Thy sign
|
The crimson moonlight
|
|

Thy Wilderness

| Crimson Moonlight |
