by Jacob Frese (c1690 - 1729)

Om Gud
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Bort vare det, vare bort, att du Guds varelse rena, 
Det obegripliga ljus och det treeniga ena, 
Tänkte beteckna med ord, och i tal ene ande förklara! 
Slut dig i tysthet och bön, bön skall dig i tysthet bevara. 
Var du med honom i råd, då morgonstjärnorna tändes, 
Då det stormande haf vidt ut på rymderna sändes? 
Vet du, hur vädret skops och hur sig skyarna vända, 
När, hvar, hvarför och hur beslöt han världenes ända? 
Här förlore vi oss, här, här bli tankarna fjärran, 
Säga hvad Herran han är, det hörer allena till Herran.

Confirmed with Valda Skrifter af Jakob Frese, in the set Finlands Svenska Vitterheit. 3. Jakob Frese, Helsingfors, 1902, page 32.
