Alfred Tennyson (1889-1892).
Strong Son of God, immortal
Love,
Whom we, that have not seen thy face,
By faith, and faith alone, embrace.
Believing where we cannot prove;
Love,
Whom we, that have not seen thy face,
By faith, and faith alone, embrace.
Believing where we cannot prove;
Thou seemest human and divine,
The highest, holiest manhood, thou:
Our wills are ours, we know not how :
Our wills are ours, to make them thine.
The highest, holiest manhood, thou:
Our wills are ours, we know not how :
Our wills are ours, to make them thine.
Our little systems have their day;
They have their day and cease to be:
They are but broken lights of thee,
And thou, Lord, art more than they.
They have their day and cease to be:
They are but broken lights of thee,
And thou, Lord, art more than they.
We have but faith : we cannot know;
For knowledge is of things we see;
And yet we trust it comes from thee,
A beam in darkness : let it grow.
For knowledge is of things we see;
And yet we trust it comes from thee,
A beam in darkness : let it grow.
Let knowledge grow from more to more,
But more of reverence in us dwell;
That mind and soul, according well,
May make one music as before,
But more of reverence in us dwell;
That mind and soul, according well,
May make one music as before,
But vaster: we are fools and slight,
We mock thee when we do not fear:
But help thy foolish ones to bear;
Help thy vain world to bear thy light.
We mock thee when we do not fear:
But help thy foolish ones to bear;
Help thy vain world to bear thy light.
