THERE IS NO GOD BUT THEE
Ahmed C. Brann (1907)
"God! - there is no God but He; the Living, the Self-subsisting." - The Throne.
1.
There is no God but Thee;
No partner shares Thy throne;
Through all, unending times and space,
Thy Glory reigns alone.
Source of all life that dwells
In air, or land, or sea:
There is no dead or quickened thing
But cometh, Lord, from Thee.
2.
There is no God but Thee;
Great Ruler of the Spheres,
Thy Power created all, and still,
Sustains them through the years:
Thy Law shall rule for aye,
Thy Justice still decree,
Thy Bounty cherish all and bring
All bound in love to Thee.
3.
O Great, Eternal King,
O Lord of Might and Grace!
Grant that Thy servants yet may find,
With Thee, abiding place.
And hasten, Lord, the time
When mortal things shall flee,
And never-ending choirs shall sing:
"There is no God but Thee!"
