The Hymnal ‎#54

54. Father of all, in whom alone

1 Father of all, in whom alone
We live and move and breathe,
One bright celestial ray dart down
And cheer thy sons beneath.

2 When in thy word we search for thee,
We search with trembling awe;
Open our eyes and let us see
The wonders of thy law.

3 Now let our darkness comprehend
The light that shines so clear;
Now the revealing Spirit send,
And give us ears to hear.

Amen.
