Knowledge, They Say
Author: Arthur Noyes, 1880-1958 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #339 (1993) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Knowledge, they say, drives wonder from the world Lyrics: 1 Knowledge, they say, drives wonder from the world;
they say it still, though all the dust's ablaze
with marvels at their feet, while Newton's laws
foretell that knowledge one day shall be song.
2 We seem like children wandering by the shore,
gathering pebbles colored by the wave;
while the great sea of truth, from sky to sky
stretches before us, boundless unexplored. Topics: Humanist Teachings Insight and Wisdom; Reason and Science; Wisdom and Understanding Languages: English Tune Title: SHELDONIAN
