Author: Thomas W. Higginson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11735 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 No human eyes Thy face may see;
No human thought Thy form may know;
But all creation dwells in Thee,
And Thy great life through all doth flow.
2 And yet, O strange and wondrous thought:
Thou art a God who hearest prayer,
And every heart with sorrow fraught
To seek Thy present aid may dare.
3 And though most weak our efforts seem
Into one creed these thoughts to bind,
And vain the intellectual dream,
To see and know the Eternal Mind—
4 Yet Thou wilt turn them not aside,
Who cannot solve Thy life divine,
But would give up all reason’s pride,
To know their hearts approved by Thine.
5 And Thine unceasing love gave birth
To our dear Lord, Thy holy Son,
Who left a perfect proof on earth,
That duty, love, and truth are one.
6 So, though we faint on life’s dark hill,
And thought grow weak, and knowledge flee,
Yet faith shall teach us courage still,
And love shall guide us on to Thee! Languages: English Tune Title: EATON
