Religion
"God Is Ours"
Translated by Nicol Macnicol (1919) · From Psalms of Maratha Saints (1919)
Religion
God is ours, yea, ours is he,
Soul of all the souls that be.
God is nigh without a doubt,
Nigh to all, within, without.
God is gracious, gracious still;
Every longing he'll fulfil.
God protects, protects his own;
Strife and death he casteth down.
Kind is God, ah, kind indeed;
Tuka he will guard and lead.
