Author: Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1809-1892 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #639 (1917) Hymnal Title: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book 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 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.
3 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.
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. Topics: Faith And Knowledge; Faith And Knowledge; Seasons and Occasions; Knowledge; Star Of Peace Languages: English Tune Title: RIVAULX
