Lyics

Oh source divine, and life of all,

The fount of being's wondrous sea!

Thy depth would every heart appall,

That saw not love supreme in thee.



We shrink before thy vast abyss,

Where worlds on worlds eternal brood;

We know thee truly but in this-

That thou bestowest all our good.



And so, 'mid boundless time and space,

Oh grant us still in thee to dwell,

And through the ceaseless web to trace

Thy presence working all things well!
