|
|
<p>We limit not the truth of God<br>
|
|
To our poor reach of mind,<br>
|
|
By notions of our day and sect,<br>
|
|
Crude, partial, and confined.<br>
|
|
No, let a new and better hope<br>
|
|
Within our hearts be stirred:</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">The Lord hath yet more light and truth<br>
|
|
To break forth from His Word.</p>
|
|
<p>Darkling our great forefathers went<br>
|
|
The first steps of the way;<br>
|
|
’Twas but the dawning yet to grow<br>
|
|
Into the perfect day.<br>
|
|
And grow it shall, our glorious sun<br>
|
|
More fervid rays afford:</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>The valleys passed, ascending still,<br>
|
|
Our souls would higher climb,<br>
|
|
And look down from supernal heights<br>
|
|
On all the bygone time.<br>
|
|
Upward we press, the air is clear,<br>
|
|
And the sphere-music heard:</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>O Father, Son, and Spirit, send<br>
|
|
Us increase from above;<br>
|
|
Enlarge, expand all Christian souls<br>
|
|
To comprehend Thy love,<br>
|
|
And make us to go on, to know<br>
|
|
With nobler powers conferred:</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
