LyicsThy way is in the sea;
Thy paths we can not trace;
Nor solve, O Lord! the mystery
Of thy unbounded grace.
Here the dark vails of sense
Our captive souls surround;
Mysterious deeps of providence
Our wond'ring thoughts confound.
As through a glass we see
The wonders of thy love;
How little do we know of thee,
Or of the joys above.
In part we know thy will,
And bless thee for the sight;
Soon will thy love the rest reveal
In glory's clearer light.
With joy shall we survey
Thy providence and grace;
And spend an everlasting day
In wonder, love, and praise.
