Author: Alfred Tennyson Hymnal: The Worshipbook #578 (1972) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Worshipbook Lyrics: 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 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.
3 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.
4 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.
Amen. Topics: Christian Year Lent; Other Observances Christian Education Tune Title: ROCKINGHAM OLD
