Taught of God.
33
He gives alike earth's hidden lore,
And intellect that comprehends;
He beckons through the opening door,
And to the heavens the eye ascends—
And scanning all the mysteries
Of stars and planets as they move,
The humble soul, adoring, cries,
Our God is Wisdom—God is Love.
And intellect that comprehends;
He beckons through the opening door,
And to the heavens the eye ascends—
And scanning all the mysteries
Of stars and planets as they move,
The humble soul, adoring, cries,
Our God is Wisdom—God is Love.
Yes, God is Wisdom—God is Love;
And yet this greatest crowning grace,
We hold all other gifts above,
To us He shows a Father's face,
A Father's heart. 'Twas this that moved
This message through His chosen One,
He loves our race with stronger love
Than earthly parent loves his own.
And yet this greatest crowning grace,
We hold all other gifts above,
To us He shows a Father's face,
A Father's heart. 'Twas this that moved
This message through His chosen One,
He loves our race with stronger love
Than earthly parent loves his own.
Dear fellow-learners in Christ's school,
Perchance on earth we'll never meet,
But yielding to his gentle rule,
And humbly falling at His feet,
We'll know in truth, this love so broad,
And the vast treasures of His grace;
For they most truly learn of God,
Who study Him in Jesus' face.
Perchance on earth we'll never meet,

And humbly falling at His feet,
We'll know in truth, this love so broad,
And the vast treasures of His grace;
For they most truly learn of God,
Who study Him in Jesus' face.
