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; Our 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.
