EN 4975 Strong Son of God, Immortal Love

2Cor.5.7

Versi Version 1

1

Strong Son of God, immortal love,

Whom we, that have not seen Thy face,

By faith, and faith alone, embrace,

Believing where we cannot prove.

2

Thou wilt not leave us in the dust;

Thou madest man, he knows not why,

He thinks he was not made to die:

And Thou hast made him: Thou art just.

3

Thou seemest human and divine,

The highest, holiest manhood, Thou.

Our wills are ours, we know not how;

Ours wills are ours, to make them Thine.

4

Our little systems have their day;

They have their day and cease to be;

They are but broken lights of Thee,

And Thou, O Lord, art more than they.

5

We have but faith: we cannot know;

For knowledge is of things we see;

And yet we trust it comes from Thee,

A beam in darkness: let it grow.

6

Let knowledge grow from more to more,

But more of reverence in us dwell;

That mind and soul, according well,

May make one music as before.

7

But vaster. We are fools and slight;

We mock Thee when we do not fear;

But help Thy foolish ones to bear—

Help Thy vain worlds to bear Thy light.
