Marks and inscriptions
O Lord the Saviour and defense of us Thy chosen race/ From age to age thou still hast been our sure abiding place/ Before Thou broughtst the mountains forth/ Or the Earth and worls didst frame/ Thou always wert the mighty God and ever art the same/ How wonderous are Thy works O Lord/ How deep are Thy decrees/ Who's winding tracks in secret laid/ No stupid sinner sees.
