The sonnet, inspired by Psalm 90:1-2 (KJV), reflects on God’s eternal nature and role as humanity’s enduring refuge. It emphasizes His timeless existence—unchanging from before creation through all generations—and contrasts this with the fleeting nature of human life. The poem portrays God as a steadfast, boundless shelter, offering comfort and security, and concludes with praise for His everlasting love and glory.

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. (Psalm 90:1-2, KJV)

O Lord, our refuge through the ages long,
Before the hills were born or seas were spread,
Your timeless might, eternal, firm, and strong,
Sustains the heavens where no mortals tread.
From everlasting, You alone endure,
No dawn can mark Your start, no night Your end,
Your holy presence, boundless, ever sure,
Our constant home, on whom we still depend.
While fleeting years like morning mists depart,
Your changeless glory holds us in its care,
A steadfast shelter for the trembling heart,
Your love eternal answers every prayer.
O God, our dwelling, evermore the same,
We sing Your praise and glorify Your name.
