Text: | O Thou, in All Thy Might So Far |
Author: | Frederick Lucian Hosmer |
Tune: | KILMARNOCK |
Composer: | Neil Dougall (1776-1862) |
1 O Thou, in all Thy might so far,
In all Thy love so near,
Beyond the range of sun and star,
And yet beside us here:
2 What heart can comprehend Thy name,
Or, searching, find Thee out,
Who art within, a quickening Flame,
A Presence round about.
3 Yet though I know Thee but in part,
I ask not, Lord, for more;
Enough for me to know Thou art,
To love Thee and adore.
4 And dearer than all things I know
Is childlike faith to me,
That makes the darkest way I go
An open path to Thee.
Amen.
