by Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804 - 1877)

Store Skapare, förlåt det
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  FIN
Store Skapare, förlåt det,
Se ej, gode Gud, med vrede,
Att så ofta i ditt tempel
Jag på honom äfven tänker!
Hundra vägar har min tanke,
Tusen att till honom hinna.
Blott det sämsta leder bortåt,
Allt det bättre för till honom.
Kort från dagens ljus är vägen,
Gen från nattens stjärneskara,
Hvarje blomma stakar stigen,
Hvarje träd är vägamärke.
Men när dig min tanke hunnit,
Är den nästan ren hos honom.
