We may search for the secrets of the deep,
We may study the stellar worlds on high;
But not 'till our eyes close in endless sleep
Shall we fathom the things that our search defy.
We may study the stellar worlds on high;
But not 'till our eyes close in endless sleep
Shall we fathom the things that our search defy.
We only know a great mystery,
Unknown to us now, shall be known some day,
When with clearer vision our eyes shall see
The mists of uncertainty rolled away.
Unknown to us now, shall be known some day,
When with clearer vision our eyes shall see
The mists of uncertainty rolled away.
O revelation, beyond all thought!
When the old shall perish before the new,
How narrow the knowledge time has taught,
When mortals shall know as the angels do.
When the old shall perish before the new,
How narrow the knowledge time has taught,
When mortals shall know as the angels do.
